Nice to see that there is no $300 high pressure filter like the gsxr750, most people do a filter bypass👍.

Thanks for the video. was wondering if you knew the part numer for the 2 orings in the pump. My 2013 wont go over 8000 rpm and seems to be getting worse. when i fully turn the accelerator it actually slows down. mecchanic say have to change the complete fuel pump assembly and in italy costs a kidney. thanks

Dave Hewson Road Racing Obsession Engineering LTD I appreciate it; better spending $50 than $250 or god knows how much to take it to the shop. I’m getting an intermittent sputtering, loss of power/stalling; so maybe this will fix it.

Hi, thank you for that video, its relly helpful, I made a terrible mistake and left fuel in the tank of my 2012 Z1000 that has been in garage for 6 years, so i will have to clean the thank and clean the fuel pump, what do you recomend to use to clean the fuel pump? i will order that new fuel pump filter, thanks again.

Hi again,. I have dismantled the fuel pump, cleaned it and now trying to put everything back together. Finding it difficult to close the lid as the o ring doesn't go in smoothly, is it possible to use lube to make easier, if so, what is the recommended lubricant for these o rings? Thanks

I know this video is old but I got a 2007 zx10 and it bogs at around 20-30 mph in first gear, also at about 9KRPM it stops it doesn’t go any higher then 9K RPM. Could a clogged fuel filter cause these problems? Also I should mention all new coil pack and plugs.

@obsession_engineering 2 жыл бұрын

The high rpm issue is commonly caused by the fuel filter being blocked, not heard of it at lower rpm but it could well be an issue. The 07 filter is basically the same as the later bike, so pretty easy to check

dumb question but i cant i just run the bike to low fuel, strap the tank back and do the job wih the gas tank still attached to the bike and a little fuel still in the tank?

To save removing one bolt I don't think it's worth the awkwardness of trying to keep the tank in place, it's much easier to remove it

@@obsession_engineering thanks, wasnt sure if that might save me a little hassle and mess, im going to have to do it because fueling culprits are a limited number of things and the bike just doest sound right; it was juat starting to stutter at idle and certain rpms prior to running cleaner through it. 18k.

I have issues with my zx10r 2011 spoken to the guys who rebuilt the bike would this have a massive effect because when I go to give the zx10r throttle above 6000revs it’s like the bike cuts out and there’s no throttle any more am told that this could be losing psi when bike demands fuel only starts working once the bike has been switched bike off completely then starts up again never had this issue b4 and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue in past.

@obsession_engineering 2 жыл бұрын

If the filter is just blocked it shouldn't be that bad, and resetting the bike wouldn't normally fix it, so it sounds like more of an electrical fault. Do you know if there's any fault codes? as there could be several items that could cause the problem, top injectors, ignition pick up, throttle position sensors... the list goes on unfortunately

@wayneclark2458 2 жыл бұрын

@@obsession_engineering no fault codes come up or anything to say there’s a issue on the dash just cuts power till I come to a stop then it cuts out turn key off for couple minutes then fires straight back up revs like there was no issue.

You cleaned the filter sock/ strainer, not the filter. Apparently the filter is incased ‘in the lid’

See that bit you call the lid that has FPR attached next time ,take out FPR and oring and spray carb cleaner in there and rinse with clean fuel ,then Back flush with air gun ,Because it has a micro filter in there and judging by your lower filter top strainer would be restricting fuel flow ,👍

@obsession_engineering 3 жыл бұрын

Unlikely unless the pump is failing, normally the issue is at high rpm when the pump can't flow enough fuel.

@christopherwebb-lo4fg 5 ай бұрын

Dude extreme huge mistake! That so called tea bag your calling the fuel filter is stage 1 of the bike's fuel filtration system, which is the~ "fuel strainer"! The 2ed stage of fuel filtration is the "fuel filter",( at fuel pumps exit port) which filters down to 40 microns, So changing a fuel strainer is only doing 20% of the job.
