The fuel pump in my '06 FZ6 died. Yamaha Canada wants ~$700 for a new one. My mechanic suggested checking eBay for a previously enjoyed unit. Found one for about $150 shipped.
The new-to-me used fuel pump is installed and working, but my mechanic says there is some hesitation / lag when you open the throttle which could be related to the fuel pump being gummed up from sitting on a shelf. He suggested it a) may clear itself up over time, b) may clear up with a fuel additive, c) may not clear up. [Aside: IMO, I should have just bought the new pump from Yammie ... $700 over the ~35,000kms I have ridden is immaterial. *sigh*]
Any experience out there with additives that might be appropriate?
