Well, 3 years ago now, but your video is still helping novices like me. I wouldn't have attempted this without your help. Your plain terms were easy to understand. Can't say enough about Quantum pump either. Everything was as advertised. Wife or gf telling you the battery was about to die was priceless, along with her background music". Thank you so much!
Magnificent video. Clear, concise, and no blah... blah...blah taking up all kinds of time like most videos. Please, continue to do more videos in the future. Nothing like an intelligent young man. Again, well done.
Awesome job man! Was kinda intimidated at first but your video gave me confidence to tackle it! All done now about to put the bike back together and see how she does! Btw those are needle nose pliers, not vise grips lol, great job agian!
Thank you VERY much.. got a zx6r ninja which uses the exact same pump assembly.. battling to find a wiring guide for the pump. Your vid has everything I need for my rebuild !
My bike kept acting up after replacing pump and filter as well. Didn't know what the problem was till I saw it inside there. So i used a hacksaw and cut it open to be able to clean it. Then I melted it back together. Works like a champ now!
Great video thanks. Only thing I would suggest is a little better camera focus on what your working on. Alot of times all we could see was your hands or arms
My problem was the regulator which is all I needed not the whole kit but if you change one part change it all 💪🏿🙏🏾💯 Thanks good Video and bac ground B-Bop music!
Hi man. How did you.know that your problem was just the pressure regulator?' . Am having problems with my bike just weeks after this same instalation. At idle its ok, but once you try to run there is backfire and big loss of power
I'm going to attempt this now myself. Would've took it to the shop but your video is really well done and will help someone with limited mechanical experience like me but who can follow instructions which you've laid out step by step. Question: is there a simple way to test the pump first before buying this refurbished kit? I can run 2 wires from a battery but not sure where to attach them to determine whether the pump is operational or not.
I found this last night thanks to your comment. I'm not going to cut it open because I fear that I may not get a good seal when I put it back together. I sprayed a whole can of gumoff through it and shook it like a devil, then let it sit filled up with cleaner overnight. It still has black gunk on the filter but its a hell of a lot better than it was and it doesn't have any more rust particles in there.
Poke a hole in the secondary high pressure filter screen and then install a external high pressure filter from a honda or toyota, if not you'll have problems over and over again😮
Great video! Is this the same for er6f 2010? To ground the pump without taking it out. Where do I ground on the pump? I can’t start my bike and the workshop told me it could be the ecu. So to check if the fuel pump was working he told me to take a wire from - battery to - fuel pump and leave + as is. To bypass the ecu.
Essa seria a bomba da 900 clássic LT 2012 ?? Qual foi o defeito apresentado para vc fazer a troca ? A minha parece estar com baixa pressão !!! Teria que trocar todo o conjunto ?
What is the metal bracket that the two Phillip screws attach to with the white wire? Mine is corroded and the wire broke, and have no idea where to get a replacement.. thanks
trey moore That piece comes with the unit itself and I haven’t been able to trace down a part number for that specific item. Unfortunately I think you might have to buy a new unit just for that piece.
@@qualityroofsofgeorgiallc mine worked great but after a hundred miles or so the bike started bogging on acceleration then stopped working again. Pretty sure the problem was rust that was still in after the acid treatment came out of the pitting inside the tank and clogged injectors and not issues from the pump itself. Have yet to dive back into it until I get a new tank
I just rebuilt the fuel pump on my Vulcan 900 and fuel leaks out of the metal outlet continuously. Is that normal? I thought it shouldn’t have fuel coming out unless the pump is on?
Great video! My problem is the bike won't turn over and stay running. I've sprayed it with fuel starter, it seems to want to start, runs a few seconds but then dies. My bike is a 2000 Vulcan 1500 fuel injection. I took the tank off, and blew air into each hose and orfice with a compressor. I have no clue what to trouble shoot. Any guidance? Trying to avoid taking it to the shop. Thanks Gem
Hi man. I put a brand new quantum fuel pump just weeks ago, the vulcan was runing great but yesterday the problem came again. At idle the bike is stable, but once i pull the throttle over the 3500 rpm's the bike have a big fall of fuel pressure. The pressure tester shows 25 psi at 4000 rpm. So the big question is....do you know in what range should the pressure fluctuate witn the bike running at «high» reps?
@@the702medic3 no man. The bike is stock and was running great until yesterday. The question is ...do you know how many pounds do you lost once you are running at 3500?...should i contact the quantum guys?...at idle it shows 48psi...thanks for your answer man.
The problem is.... There is another filter in the white piece that holds the regulator. I just dealt with this issue myself and was finally able to figure it out
Cut the back half of that section off with a hacksaw. You can see where it is put together. And clean it up with razor knife and the filter will be easily accessible. Pull it out and clean it up. Put it back in and use a small torch to melt it back together. It won't look great, but if your like me, your not spending 400 on a fuel pump if you don't have to. Worked like a champ. Bike hasn't run this well since I bought it 3000 miles ago. I have pics of process. If you need them send me e-mail address and I will gladly send them
Are there any forums, (that anyone knows of), that might show where the fuel pump is located,( and how to remove it), on a 2004 Vulcan Classic VN1600 ? I've looked everywhere , and no luck.
J. S. It should be on the left side on the bottom of the fuel tank, if your bike is carbureted and not fuel injected it probable doesn't have an actual fuel pump.
Dude you are a lifesaver! I have been having a problem with rust in my tank but could not afford new pump or tank! I recently cleaned the tank and put a chemical in it to make it shinny new. But the filter still had rust. Thank you for this vid and please continue making Vulcan videos!!!!
Hi everyone! Does anyone knows if this fuel pump worth the money? 'Cause there's a lot more cheap at AliExpress jejeje. I replaced the fuel pump filter following the instructions on the video, but now is really difficult to start and can't stay on idle, I need to push the start button several times to get idle. I must say that in the process I dropped the fuel pump accidentally and I think that is the cause for this issue, so I decided to replace it. What do you guys think?
Thanks, very helpful. But a couple questions.....just what is that.....*thing* the white wire is attached to? The wire on mine broke off but i can solder it back. But what is that part it attaches to? I bought and used this kit for my 2006 Vulcan 900 and found it has some wires and a connector which were not used in your video or my own rebuild. And are you sure those filters are identical or interchangeable? Im guessing this kit might be for a couple different bikes, with the V900 not using the "extra" wires and grommets. Opinions? Thanks.
I changed my fuel pump to Quantum set. I my bike still don't go faster than 90 km\h. I've done everything like in video. After 90 bike goes like he loaded full of indians and cows. Roar, shaking and don't go faster. Can this small filter, i mean in head of pump must me open and clean too? But the only way to get inside of it is cut it in the side. What is inside of this thing?
@@josephgutierrez1326 I can't say for sure. It seems to me that the Quantum pumps themselves are crap. I don't know the reason, but they start buzzing after a certain time. And it hums so loudly that you can hear it through the tank while driving. It seems to me that they overheat and wear out and then the traction drops. It's winter now, so I can't check. But I have one more Quantum, which I received under warranty. I'll try it in the spring. If that doesn't work, I'll look for Bosch. Then I will write about the results.. What's your problem? Let's search together
@@user-fu8gq5xg5u1 i see. My bike cant go faster than 7k rpm. I also would like to clean the small filter inside the head pump as you saying. Could you clean that filter? I read that the only way to clean it , is by cutting that cover first.
@@user-fu8gq5xg5u1 My bike is a ZX10R kawasaki, so it should acelerate like an airplane. My problem is that the aceleration and power is ok until the 7000 rpm, above of that the pressure of the pump fall and cant go faster than 120 km/h. I checked the inyectors, air filter, and all is ok. So i decided to change the filter of the fuel pump and the pump, not all with the plastics, just the electrical component. I also bought the Quantum set but my problem continues. Looking for information in internet i found that the whole pump has two filters, one is on the base and is easy to change it, and the other is on the top of the whole pump, right next to the pressure regulator, and this one cant be changed. I guess this could be my problem because i have not cleaned it yet. It is important to say that when i test my pump alone it gives more than 7psi, but the problem appears when i test the complete pump assembled, it gives around 2 psi when i make it acelerated more than 7k rpm, but in idle is ok.

Video is 6 years old now and I’m feeling good about tackling this issue myself. Thanks for putting this out there
Good video. My bike has been sitting for several years and my tank is full of rust , so I might be rebuilding my pump. Thanks a lot. 👍🏻
Excellent Video! Very straightforward and easy to understand.
One of the best mechanical DIY videos I've ever watched. Also great camera work. Thank you!!
Great video nothing to distract like music etc and you had it laid out or prepared great job THANKS

Awesome break down my man. I’m literally changing the same fuel pump on my motorcycle tomorrow. Thanks for the steps.
Thank you VERY much.. got a zx6r ninja which uses the exact same pump assembly.. battling to find a wiring guide for the pump. Your vid has everything I need for my rebuild !
Great video buddy and was glad I ran across it. Doing the exact same thing as you have shown and wasn't sure the process. Thank you!
Glad you put this on here
Great job! I'm needing to rebuild mine... This helped tremendously! 👍🏼
Awesome video, man - I'm doing my Z1000 now and it's similar enough that this helped a lot.
Nice vid, have a 900 as well....no isseus with the feulpump now but when it happens.....now i know how to fix it....thanks for posting.
Thank you man very good job took the fear out of that job , and i have that bike so thanks !!!!
Excellent job. Very helpful in rebuilding mine.
Good job! Not having problems with this yet but saving this for future use!

Are you saying that there is another filter inside that part?
Do you have videos showing how to clean that filter?? Thank you
No video but I might have some old photos but YES! there is definitely a filter inside of the housing! I'll try to find the pics and post them

There is a second fuel filter located in the white cover inside piece holding the regulator.

Great informative video , well put together
Thank you very much bro, very useful information.
Do you know what the white wire is that connects to that metal bit on the top bracket? I can't find it and it's not in my kit. Mine broke
I do believe the metal piece is the pressure regulator!
Replace i.c.o. rebuild, and they call themselve mechanics. 😂🤡😂🤡
Nice and clear upload. 👍
O rings the filter is often called a sock.
Amazing 👏 Much Respect 🙏
You’ve been a big help thank you
Dude...I think you just saved my bike.
I guess not. But it did make a huge diffefence just cleaning it. Ordered a filter a week ago. Should be much easier to chnge now.
Did you have issues when trying to start the bike at first when replacing with new fuel pump?
Just the initial priming of the system. Worked fine after.
Poke a hole in the secondary high pressure filter screen and then install a external high pressure filter from a honda or toyota, if not you'll have problems over and over again😮
Thanks!
What is the metal piece on the outside you connected ground between? I think mine broke
Great video thanks!
thank you for your great help!
More videos vn 900 PLEASE !!!!!!!!! Thanks
That little metal thing. It’s called a fuel pressure regulator. You’re welcome.
How did you notice that your pump was failing? I just have problems with mi vn900 06, it stop doing the sound it does when you turn on your switch
For me it was throttle response and stalling from a dead stop.
Great video!
Is this the same for er6f 2010?

That "metal piece" that you took off first with the sensor and the white wire, what is that?
I would like to know as well. What is it and how do I know if it needs to be replaced? I'd hate to take everything apart a 2nd time.
