When researching the bike, you may encounter a lot of hits for a fuel pump issue.
While the issue exists, it is not as wide spread as some are lead to believe.
Essentially they can fail.
The failure can be identified (apart from being unable to start the bike) in the following ways.
- No priming noise when the ignition is turned on.
- No fuel pumped over your feet if you disconnect the fuel line and engage the ignition.
In some instances a sharp thump on the side of the tank can be utilised for a tempory cure. But get it replaced as soon as possible.
An Aprilla part is hugely expensive, however well worth carrying for 3 years when the pump fails in the middle of Khazakstan.
Fortunately there are cheaper options. These have beeb detailed here.
