hiya
depends which model your bike is, they changed the fuel pump from vaccum to electric in 99
do you have a temperature guage or a fuel gauge on the right had side of your rev counter?

You can get a new electric one for about £208.33 from here

Still a lot for a new pump tho !
Failing that, you might well be able to fit a used R1/R6 pre-fuel injection model fuel pump, like some mk1 owners have done. Usually some on ebay [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

thanks for the welcome and advice. i think the pump is playing up because it surges on constant throttle, its like the brakes are being applied and then released, not the best description sorry. i have checked all the usuall pipes,new plugs, brakes are not binding etc .

Hi Gaz, have ya checked/stripped/cleaned the starter relay ????

IIRC couldn't you replace the early R1/R6 fuel pumps with a ford part off an XR3i for about £40.
If so could you do the same for the TDM, might need some plumbing and wiring but still, it's not £300 plus.
As long as the flow rate and delivery pressures are within the correct limits any fuel pump should work really.
Edit-:
2 on ebay

I don't know much about leccy pumps but it seems odd that it could cause the surges, I thought they basically work or they don't work.
Pity you can't 'borrow' a pump to swap over and see if it cures the problemo.
There's quite a few tests you can do in the Haynes, for the pump, pump relay etc.
Are the fuel filters all noice an clean ? Fuel tank vent unobstructed ?
