Have had issues with the bike breaking up 4th -6th gear anyways after chasing many other things mostly electrical I removed the fuel pump. The filter is caked with debris. Any idea how to clean it? I don't think I can buy just a filter
I used brake parts cleaner and air but that was for a GSXR. I believe the Yamaha has a wire mesh one?
Its not wire mesh. The filter isn't very big and looks more like a tea bag. I used compressed air and some carb cleaner but not sure its enough. I replaced the whole pump with an extra I had. I would like to keep this one as a back up if I can get it cleaned properly.
any idea how you got that much debris in there jeff? or was it pretty normal and just needed its cleaned/replaced interval?
There's charcoal or something that looks like it inside there. Compressed air and a pick for embedded fibers is exactly what I use. The R6 pump is pretty robust compared to the GSX-R. Just blow the crap on the outside off and put it back together.
