W800 noisy fuel pump and griding noises when the ignition is turned on.
|
Dear all,
I have a 2012 W800 that has done about 5kmiles, most with me over the last three months as I bought it little used with on 2k on it. It was serviced at 3k Recently i think the fuel pump is noisier than it,s normal tick, the reason I think it is the fuel pump is, that if I push the throttle backward to the stop to cut down the revs, it disappears. loud enough to think its tappets. Also on turning the key on, during the pre-check it can make a very loud unhealthy noises , but only sometimes. I have 4 bikesand been riding for 40 years and am experienced enough to know it is a problem not paranoia ! I read somewhere that the was some fueling issue with this model could this be the problem do I need to do any mods or change anything to rectify or is it normal ? Apart from this I am very happy? with the bike and is a constant surprise to me how much I enjoy it ! Best regards and safe journeys, Gary Chapman from the middle east |

Yes there was a recall on the fuel pump for this model (same as mine). The dealers in Dubai would have little interest in following up. Also in the Gulf fuel quality is highly varisble. Stick to Shell might be the best. All the best, Peter
