I finally got the R1 fuel pump on my '92 model. Took me longer than some because I was more than a little worried about driveability problems listed above but mine started, idles and revs fine. I was somewhat concerned about fuel overflow but the pump seems to have an internal pressure switch that shuts off when the bowls are filled. I can hear the pump run, tick, tick, tick(reminded me of my '85 FZ750) Very reassuring, plus, if I don't hear the tick, tick, tick I will know it isn't working. I hooked the positive to the Red/black wire per the original instruction here and, no problems. I haven't ridden it yet as I am going to do some fuel line rerouting I want to do but it started and ran fine.
I also replaced the battery as that was the main reason for removing the tank to begin with. I decided to follow the good service I've gotten from the Walmart battery I have in my '83 550 Vision. I installed it in March 2005, replacing a Yuasa I'd bought in July 2003. That one lost a cell and will be the last Yuasa I waste money on. I got the Everstart Maxx AGM for the TDM, $45 US and see how long it lasts.
I am ordinarily an advocate of the local bike shop and if they offered a quality battery for a similar price I would buy it. When I got the Yuasa, they had a cheapie alternative that they did not recommend. As I said before, that is my last Yuasa.
I will keep posting on the fuel pump and battery.
