Don't have the Fuelmiser specs to hand but cross-referenced with the AC Delco equivalent (EP102AU).
This is 2.4 LMP @ 200 KPA, 3.6 amps, max pressure 700, max amps 9. Doesn't give bar. It's frustrating all this. The old pump is fine but for a hairline crack in the plastic inlet tube.
Thanks for your help so far. I may return this one and keep looking.

Using the advice already given here I’ve bought a replacement fuel pump for my 2000 V11.
The info I have is that the stock one is 3.0 bar (43.5psi) and 1.6 litres per minute. The generic replacement I have (Fuelmiser FPE240) is rated at 2.9 litres per minute @ 200 kpa. I need to know if this is OK to use (think it’s based on the one for the 1991 BMW 318 IC)?
Many thanks in advance. It's much appreciated.

Apparently the external pumps are (or can be replace with) Bosch 0580464048

Raz mate, that's everything I needed to know. Thanks very much for your trouble. It's very much appreciated.
All the best.

Can you post pics? Maybe we can provide some alternatives......
I've removed the pump and sure enough, the oulet spout is cracked (wasn't easy to see on the bike).
Is there an alternative pump I can buy? I'm guessing one from the Guzzi dealer is going to be expensive for what's surely a common enough part.
Thanks very much.

Got a fuel leak from the fuel pump inlet. Replaced the line from the filter to the inlet and tightened the jubilee clips but the leak is still there. Wanted to ask if the plastic pump inlet was prone to cracking as that's about all I can put it down to at the moment?
Thanks.

I think the Quill recommendation is ideal you can pop into Warrington while on the way to the North West!
Thanks again. Used to be a postman in Warrington as it happens. Should be able to find the place from memory...

Thanks for the replies.
We're spending the first week in North Devon then travel to the Isle of Man for New Year. ZigZag around inbetween around Derby, Southport, Lancaster and a few other old haunts.
Thanks again for your help.

Travelling to the UK for Christmas (from NZ). I'd like to source some nice sounding mufflers for my 2000 V11 whilst I'm there.
What would you recommend and do you know where I could get them over the counter without having to order?
Many thanks.
Molly.

and the Orwellian surveilance give me the willies nowadays....
Pete
The psychology of surveillance is something I know a bit about (done some research and evaluation work on police and local authority systems in my time). Bureaucracy is actually the first form of surveillance and the modern cross-referencing of databases has all but made it impossible to be anonymous these days. If it's any conciliation, the same systems that look outwards also enable the monitoring and measurement of the monitors (no, doesn't make me feel any better either). Such things are equally sophisticated in Australia too I'm sure (but not in NZ as yet - at least I've less of a 'sense' of it).
-
The aftermarket is well sewn up for any H-D gremlins and, to be honest, they're pretty much bullet-proof these days anyway. Mine isn't a bling bling 'Village People Special' and I don't dress like a line dancer when I ride it. It's just a big, comfortable tourer and I wouldn't be without it. Shame about all the posers though.
-
Thank you both for that.
Much appreciated.

Redline Shockproof Heavy is very popular for use in Harley transmissions. I'd been meaning to try it in mine as it's a but 'clunkier' than some I've had and I hoped it might lessen that.
The only problem with it seems to be that, in NZ at least, it's bloody expensive! I need to find another supplier if I'm to keep the Harley and the Guzzi shockproof.
-
Yeah of course, and once again, sorry.
Pete
Hi Pete.
Please, forget about it. Communicating like this leads to all sorts of misunderstandings but that's all it was.
Sorry to hear your sad news.
Take care.
Molly.

Since I installed mine, I've consistently run the oil level ~2-3 cm above the "high" mark on the dipstick (just under the level of the plate) with ZERO evidence of oil loss through excess windage via the breather/condenser/airbox.
Thanks for that Rathethack. One last question if I may: When you run the oil level 2-3cm over the 'high' mark, do you check this with the bike upright? It's a basic question I know but I didn't search for the generic answer as I was interested in what you did.
Thanks.
Molly.

Hi Pete.
Can I put my name down for one?
Cheers.

Thank you.
Can I ask, are you still supplying these plates?

You can't be arsed? Well, **** you pal.
It was a simple, sincere question and I'm sorry you took offence. You didn't even need to reply if it bothered you. You could've left it for a member of this forum with better manners. I was simply wondering how the inclusion of an extra component would permit an extra .5 quart. What the **** was so wrong with that?

Just trying to make sense of the 'common problems' detailed on this site. It states:
Oil pressure light goes on during acceleration- Models with the pump pickup towards the front of the sump can experience pump starvation during hard acceleration. This is made worse by the dipstick full mark being 0.69 inches lower than the actual oil level when refilling with 3.5 liters as specified by Guzzi, with the dipstick screwed in, as specified by the manual. Even with 4 US quarts, tests with an oil pressure gauge showed pressure dropping to zero at maximum acceleration in first gear on level ground. Installation of a Roper Plate and refilling with 4 quarts prevents this starvation. The Roper plate also permits refilling to 4.5 quarts for extra margin. Even with this, pump starvation may occur on long, hard, steep uphill climbs. An oil pressure gauge is a useful addition to monitor this and idle pressure. The oil pressure light switch only goes on if pressure drops to somewhere in the 2-5 psi range.
Why does the Roper plate mean you can pour in 4.5 quarts rather than 4?
By the way, I've recently moved to a place at the top of a long, steep hill... Now I'm really paranoid :-)

My Guzzi pic taken in the Isle of Man. It now lives with me here in Christchurch, NZ.

If you touch the front door, your relays will last forever!
LOL. Must give it a try.

Thanks for that. It'd be just my luck if they were closed.

Going to be in Italy in about two weeks for a holiday and would like to visit the Guzzi factory / museum. Does anybody have a link to up-to-date visitor information? I can't seem to find any.
Many thanks.

I'm bringing my 2000 V11 out to NZ when we return in a few months (ChCh). Hard to think of a better bike for some of that country riding.
Mine has the clip-on bars but they're not in the least uncomfortable. I fitted bar-end mirrors which suit the cafe racer style. I can ride that bike all day and still look for the longer way home (not that there is a particularly long way home in the little Isle of Man).
Anyway, enjoy whatever one you go for. They're just stonkin' bikes.

One for the Brits this.
Reading MCN this week and noticed Top Gear's James May keeps a coupld of Guzzis including a 2001 V11 he's had from new (and a jolly nice old California).
I could relate to his attitude to riding too: group riding's too fast, have a bimble and enjoy the smells / scenery, and every now and then have a right good blast.
Looks like the V11's the gentleman's choice. Hurrah!
Is this fuel pump the right spec? Help appreciated.

Thanks again. I used the BMW details when I sourced this Fuelmiser one. Further investigation revealed two other ones of the same spec (AC Delco and, erm, sorry, it escapes me). Anyway, all being well, there should be a good number of alternatives. Will let you know how things work out.
