Fuel Pump Question

[GeorgeS]

OK, question: I have a good , spare fuel pump from my 89 ( 1st gen, now sold ) .

Am wondering if it will work as a Spare, for the new 08 2nd gen bike. ??

 

OK, 2nd gen P/N is 4NK-13907-00-00 and I went to the parts fitch, for 1st gen bikes, and the Fuel Pump, is no longer listed ??? Interesting, ???

 

Anyway, has anybody used a 1st Gen Fuel Pump, on a 2nd gen bike?? No big deal, just wondering if I should carry the extra pump as an " On the Road " Spare, just in case its needed ??

 

Any thoughs on this will be appreciated, :detective:

FWIW, I carry a generic automotive electric fuel pump with wire connects and extra fuel hose w/ clamps. This pump produces some 3-4 psi fluid pressure and is perfect for the 4 carbs. It also produces an adequate flow rate for high power demands in mountain pass two-up riding with full bags. Gravity feed will also work to keep the carbs full.... just an idea.
