I have yet to purchase something from FD, but I suspect it's just a matter of time. I kid around about his commercial pursuits, but I'm guessing his goods are fairly priced compared to other outlets.
And where else can you get a guage cluster LED upgrade kit?
Another one of those things I didn't know I needed. Someday...

I didn't have the right one. His is the earlier one.

And the saga continues... 
Pulled the pump, man you gotta get your hand just right to get to those nuts. I'll apply power from a 12V source tomorrow to see if the pump works. The fuel pump strainer bag was busted open at one end so I'm getting a replacement, not sure if that caused the problem (?)
I guess if the pump turns over then I'll still need a fuel sender unit

And too bad, FD's price is a lot better. |

| Using my old BMW battery, which still has charge, I hooked up wires to it and laid those on the pump, nothing, not a peep. So from that I assume that the pump is dead. Now all I'm waiting for is the new pump strainer bag and I'll install the new pump I have. Five weeks and counting till I leave for my trip, 4,000+ miles. |

I just replaced mine with the NAPA Fuel pump and saved big $$$.
BMW wants way too much for thiers and I think this unit will last longer.
I think I screwed my pump up when I emptied the tank of fuel for an extended time when I was R&R the engine output shaft, never will do that again...
http://www.ibmwr.org/ktech/fuel-pump-install.shtml has great instructions on how to do this....
Bike runs great.... |

The article does great at explaining how to do this job, thanks for listing it, it's exactly how I did mine. The only (minor) differences for the K11 is that it has five mount nuts and collar washers, at first I thought I'd missed one but I did a recount . And the postive wire on the K11 is brown, not white. But maybe it turns brown from exposure to gasoline?
I kinda wish I'd tried the NAPA pump, especially with what a BMW model costs  . Chicago BMW seems to have the best prices.
As I've said before. The K11OG forum is an incredible resource for K11 owners  |
