KTM 1190 Fuel Pump Rebuild Filter Change NOT as DIFFICULT as you think 💭

[@davidwilley4524]

This is a great video. I just bought a 2015 1190 R and don’t know if the pump has ever failed.Looks complicated at first.

[@ryanbox30]

This video is an amazing tool to use when you do any repair to the fuel pump. Thank you so much for making and sharing it. It helped a ton.

[@AdventureTomek]

Thanks for watching!

[@deekay336]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2017 SAR, already had the fuel pump replaced under recall. Mine went out few weeks ago while on the interstate. Had to restart my bike like 30 times to get home. Time to order a new one and replace it.

[@davewhittleston2963]

Just about to tackle this job, and found this is really useful. I’m not going to remove the tank now, and am confident it can be done relatively easily. Famous last words 😂 Thanks from England.

[@AdventureTomek]

You can do it! Thanks for watching

[@davewhittleston2963]

Update. Sorted it yesterday, was easier and quicker than expected. The fuel was sitting in the tank over winter and had turned milky, presumably water in it. Changed the pump, filters and regulator, and it runs much better. Put an up-rated pump and regulator in. Thanks for your video, was a fantastic help.

[@AdventureTomek]

@@davewhittleston2963 glad the video helped !

[@AdventureGlide]

Nice Job! I've heard about the issues with the fuel pumps on the KTMs but have yet to see it done. Looks like you will have the bike ready for your summer trip.

[@AdventureTomek]

Fingers crossed! Seems like they designed the damn thing for the NASA space shuttle.

[@AdventureGlide]

@@AdventureTomek LOL it definitely doesn't look like a fun trail side repair.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Another great tech video Tomek. That's really not bad on the pricing as well. Great job!

[@theadventurousrider]

Pretty simple and straight forward. Since that one still works i'd bring it on trips just in case.

[@AdventureTomek]

Yeah I’ll probably do that. Thanks for swinging by the channel 😎

[@jason65r]

Thanks for this Great editing and to the point

[@davidwilley4524]

Was the pump a tight fit putting it back in the tank with the two orings on the pump base?

[@AdventureTomek]

Yes, tuff to get back in

[@capesterr1]

What makes the filter so black. Is it from the tank mold release agent?

[@AdventureTomek]

I have no clue ???

[@bobbinette9286]

Thanks a lot for the share, it really helped me !!

[@AdventureTomek]

Thanks for watching!

[@ffs5532]

Excellent How To...top job mate

[@AdventureTomek]

Thank you

[@marianovale]

I have a 1290 adv. It is not having any fuel problems at the moment, but at the 30,000km service they say they "have" to change the fuel pump. What do you think?

[@AdventureTomek]

Are they doing it under warranty? I personally would not do it. If I were to go back in time before I rebuilt mine, I would just by a spare OEM one fully assembled and carry it on longer trips. Quick swap with some basic tools. Maybe call up a different dealership and see what they tell you.

[@marianovale]

@@AdventureTomek Thank you for the tip. I'm not going to make the switch. Since the fuel pump doesn't have any defects, I don't see any reason to spend $450 now (price for a new OEM one here).

[@Icezack]

great video, thanks!

[@AdventureTomek]

Glad you liked it!

[@davidwilley4524]

$137.00 for the kit you have.$152.00 for the kit that comes with the fuel tank mount orings and comes with new fuel pressure regulator.$214.00 for drop in unit fully assembled.Just drop it in and plug it in.

[@thambu19]

How many miles did you have on your bike when you started having issues with fuel pump?

[@AdventureTomek]

Around 15k I believe.

[@RaulMotoADV]

Hi, i just see your Decat video, and this. Do you have any Sound comparisson video before and after Decat? Do you note difference? Regards from chilean Patagonia entry door. ✌🏽

[@AdventureTomek]

I do not have a sounds comparison. The sound did not change much with the decat

[@RaulMotoADV]

@@AdventureTomek ok, thanks. I did the cuestion because in the 7/890 the sound change a lot. ✌🏽

[@emerymahylis944]

Just watched your video again since I've done the swap out this evening.. struggling to get the whole pump assembly back up into the fuel tank = I'm worried that I shouldn't use a rubber mallet or something like that, but I don't seem to be able to apply enough pressure just pushing upwards while lying on my back on the ground Any suggestions..? (Question coming from Vancouver BC)

[@AdventureTomek]

Try putting some grease around the rubber gasket. Have to twist at push same time. It’s a pain

[@emerymahylis944]

@@AdventureTomek I just got it sorted out about half an hour ago.. Yea, pain in the butt 4sure I figured out the twisting part, then while lying on my back I used the light on my phone to aline the screws Then with only a big 1/8" to go.. I used a construction pencil & tapped it with a small hammer, going around in a circle, just 2 light taps at a time Bike has been refueled & ran twice, no leaks, so that's good Getting the skid plate back into alignment was a pain also, I guess I've bumped some minor things over the years I bought it new in 2018, has 40,000 kms on it now { slave cylinder went earlier this year, replaced with the Oberon unit ) Even when the screen said fuel pump failure { in red across the screen } I just waited for about half an hour & the bike started again, I was able to make it from Squamish back down the sea to sky hwy to Vancouver keeping the RPM below 3000 & it lugged me home, so all in all, still a great bike, I'm probably going to keep it until I'm ready for a goldwing

Why do you have egg cartons nailed to the ceiling

Reduces echoes, for better audio quality while I record

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Years ago I made a comment on MADTV Australia’s London to Sydney video about the suspect nature of KTM fuel pumps and Dave kinda puffed up at me, blaming bad fuel. Years later he was admitting that KTM’s pumps were prone to failure in adverse terrain and dodgy fuel. I’m gonna run my 890’s OEM until it’s out of warranty. As soon as it hits that point it’s getting swapped as well. Good how to on the swap! 👍

[@AdventureTomek]

Figured I would do it now rather then on the side of a trail. You could buy the whole housing pre assembled to make it a much easier trial side fix, gets pricey at that point. From what I’ve researched the quantum pumps are well make and should last. Only time will tell

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@AdventureTomek You will be our product tester. 😊

[@Captndarty]

I don’t think KTMs fuel pumps are actually that bad. I think in the manufacturing process they leave plastic crud in the tank, which gels with gas and ruins both the filter and pump over time. Plus it’s not the external filter that usually gets clogged it’s the fine tea bag type filters inside the fuel pump itself that crap out with gumption

[@AdventureTomek]

@@Captndarty 🤔 I can see that teabag filter getting clogged over time and causing stress on the fuel pump. Someone also mention to me not to run the bike to low on gas, as the fuel cools off the pump??

[@jonasbaine3538]

I think my NEW 100mile quantum filter is failing. 50% power just like before. Ready to sell bike. Previously had fuel explode out tank embarrassingly in front of other riders too. Fixed that by drilling camel vent hole. Gotta take bike completely apart again to check vent lines again. I’m just venting🙁…pun intended😐

[@AdventureTomek]

I had to do the tank fix, fuel exploded out on me as well. The fuel pressure regulator went out on mine about 300 mile after this rebuild. As much as I love the bike I will most likely part ways with it next year.

[@jonasbaine3538]

@@AdventureTomek yeah its getting very frustrating... just looked at 21 MultiV4..wow, but i keep thinking my paid off 1190advS already does 70-80% of what these new adv bikes do, i just need the 1190 to be reliable. no prizes awarded at the end of a bdr for who had best suspension, fastest time, etc lol. new 10k 790 adv is very compelling choice, think i will miss big power though.

[@AdventureTomek]

@@jonasbaine3538 I just pickled up a 2023 Tenere 700. Don't have much seat time on the bike yet. The spec numbers on paper seem low, but the bike is peppy and a fun on to ride. Many options coming out right now in the ADV genre of bikes.

[@dlugimc3610]

dobry film, zaraz bede rozbierał swoją:-) tylko bede pamietal podstawic wiadro przed wyjęciem , nie tak jak ty :-)

[@AdventureTomek]

😂 yes bucket will be useful, was not expecting that much fuel to still be in the tank.

[@Wildrose27]

Thank you so much! I just replaced the fuel pump on my 2013 1190 Adventure R ❤

[@AdventureTomek]

Glad it helped
