Not having seen one, I assume the pumps are needed because of the low tanks and to assist gravity in feeding the carbs? I can understand a Fuel Injected bike will certainly need a pump but did not know any carb bikes used them....

They also used the same pump on Honda`s Africa Twin, i was working on a Polaris quad & was checking the fuel system & found an identical pump, its a very common pump.

Getting back to Eric`s bike,,,the part number is 1VJ-13910-01 (same pump used on the 1VJ & 3AJ) and is also used on the 3LD (XTZ 750 Super Tenere) and they are still for sale in Brazil AU$240 :yikes:

But i was right when i said it was a Taiyo Giken (written on the side) i can only think they possibly used two makes of pumps? remembering there was a MK1 & MK2 3AJ. :dunno:

Nice one, :congrats:

That would be $5000 here. :lol:

EDIT: Better get that order split in two Eric or you will be slugged 10% as your over the $1200 limit.

Wow, even with the exchange rate the price difference is huge. I found the part in the brazilian equivalent to eBay ( www.mercadolivre.com.br ) but the price was the same BRL 480,00 :bigeek:

Guys, about the fuel pump, one guy at the Brazilian forum of the XT 600 made a tutorial of the replacement of the internal parts (available on ebay).
http://www.tenereclub.com.br/viewtopic. ... 2&start=10

Enjoy and let me know if this was useful. With google translator it is easy for you to understand what is written in Portuguese and there are some nice tutorials that you may find useful.

Cheers.
