R6 Fuel pump removal | Gas tank disassembly

[@JoeGarofaloII]

Awesome video as always! It's honestly a brand new bike after all the work you put into it 😂

[@motormaniac1]

Joe Garofalo II Thank you sir! ☺️

[@KendraKjolseth]

Thank you for showing where the bolts are and how to remove the lines.

[@motormaniac1]

Hey! No problem at all! Thank you for the comment 🍻☺️

[@KendraKjolseth]

Do you have to do anything special to the fuel line while you remove it?

[@motormaniac1]

@@KendraKjolseth It would be prudent to be prepared to catch any excess fuel. You should drain the gasoline tank BEFORE you attempt this. There shouldn’t be much fuel left in the lines as a result.

Best video I’ve seen for this repair!!

Thank you!

Mohammad Rasoul Fard-Habibi I really appreciate the comment 🥰🍻😎

[@gregjordan5900]

i have a 03 r6 that needs a fuel pump and i was thinking about doing it myself cus the shop wants 600 to do it, do you think the process will be similar since its only a year older

[@motormaniac1]

Greg Jordan The process should be almost exactly the same!

[@motormaniac1]

Greg Jordan Dont forget to check your pump filter! They’re only a couple of dollars and well worth the change.

[@gregjordan5900]

Ok cool where is the pump filter located at?

[@YouKnowImRight2]

Helped a bunch. Thanks dude (Now lemme try not to break pump when I take it out lol)

[@motormaniac1]

Marjan C. No problem! Thanks. For the comment! :D And you’ve got this! It’s a little easier than it looks

[@jaytotheray7942]

When putting on the fuel assembly back on the bike I didn't see a gasket be put on before screwing it all back up. Is there supposed to be a gasket there?

[@motormaniac1]

jay to the ray yes! There is a small O-ring like gasket that goes around the fuel pump itself, to stop leaks.

[@AmericanJokerman]

Hey thanks man. I need to replace mine as the outlet broke. I figured there was gonna be something like the "little tab" in there to piss me off.

[@motormaniac1]

Dewderson That tab is such an absolute pain. But, I’m glad I could help! Good luck!

Question for you. Replaced plugs, coils and fuel filter. Bike still stalls and dies, gives rough idles, misfires on low rpms. Any ideas what going on with the bike? 11 R6 13000 miles.

[@motormaniac1]

Shaheer Q hmmm. I’m not certain. It could be a number of things. At 13,000 miles, it’s still too early for the timing of the cams to be severely off, so it’s more than likely not an internal issue. I would look at the air intake sensor, the throttle position sensor, ensure all of your vacuum lines are snug-tight, and double check your plugs and coils. You could check continuity to see if electricity is getting to the coils and plugs. You may have a wiring problem such as a frayed wire leading to the coils and plugs, causing them to be intermittent. When you rev the engine up a little, does the sputtering stop, and stalling go away? If so, it could be related to the TPS, aka the throttle position sensor, these need to be adjusted and cleaned regularly. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take yours apart and clean it with some CRC electronic parts cleaner. I did that for my old 2004 R6 and it completely stopped a rough idle. It could cause stalling as well. It could also be that your idle needs to be set. My idle on my 2004 R6 was controlled by an idle screw. I had to physically set the pace at which the engine idled. It could be that the newer R6 is the same, and your bike simply needs to have the idle adjusted. However, misfiring at low rpms could be either the gasoline isn’t getting ignited within the engine (usually a spark plug or coil problem) or there is too much or too little gasoline coming into and out of the engine (faulty air intake sensors and throttle position sensors).

@@motormaniac1 Thank you so much for taking some time out to write this. I will spend all day this weekend doing all that you listed.

[@MAX-TECH-INC]

Hahah not him teaching us how to steal people gas 👀😳

[@TheLegendaryLoso]

What if my fuel gose squirts gas out non stop once I remove the line ?

[@motormaniac1]

It will do that unless you get all the gas out. You’ve gotta drain the gas out before you take the tank off. I recommend siphoning, but running the hose to a bucket could work too!

[@TheLegendaryLoso]

@@motormaniac1 most videos when they pull the gas line it shoots out a bit. Mine literally floods out non stop until I flip it upside down

[@TheLegendaryLoso]

That's normal or is my fuel pump broken?

[@motormaniac1]

@@TheLegendaryLoso I’m not sure. I’ve always drained the tank completely before taking anything off. I would siphon all the gas out before taking the hose off. If the fuel pump is working fine, then I wouldn’t do anything to it, nor would I worry about it. Some setups might allow free flow, depending on the make and model of your bike, as well as the fuel pump and gasoline delivery systems.

[@brnktv]

You forgot the rubber gasket that goes back around the fuel pump after it's back in the tank. =(

[@motormaniac1]

You’ve gotta get that in there! 😂

[@KuyaYo1998]

Hi, do you have a facebook page where I could ask you about advices? I have a 2004 R6 and Im planning to restore it...

[@motormaniac1]

Just ask away right here! 😊
