FUEL PRESSURE TEST 4.13
INSPECTION
1WARNING1WARNING
The gasoline in the fuel supply line downstream of the
fuel pump is under high pressure (49 psi [338 kPa]). To
avoid an uncontrolled discharge or spray of gasoline,
always purge the system of high pressure gas before
attaching fuel pressure gauge. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. Inadequate safety pre-
cautions could result in death or serious injury.
1. Remove airbox. See 4.43 AIRBOX.
2. Purge the fuel supply line of high pressure gasoline.
a. See Figure 4-25. Disconnect the 4-place fuel pump
connector [86]. The connector is located inside the
left rear portion of the fuel tank/frame.
b. With the motorcycle in neutral, start the engine and
allow vehicle to run.
c. When the engine stalls, press the starter button for 3
seconds to remove any remaining fuel from fuel line.
1WARNING1WARNING
A small amount of gasoline will drain from the valve
when the gauge is installed. Thoroughly wipe up any spilt
fuel immediately. Dispose of rags in a suitable manner.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or
serious injury.
