  • No worries.

    Can the pump be dismantled? Can the pump filters be cleaned by using a closeable tub and a hole cut in the tub so you can insert the pump like in the tank and flush the pump with clean petrol?

    Or sluse petrol through so the filters are cleaned that way.

  • Yeah it's a 3 part. I've taken it apart multiple times and know it quite well now. The issue is the high pressure part is a sealed unit with a cap that's been glued on.
    A fair few people have back washed it or used a compressor to clean it, but that breaks the fine mesh inside.
    I'd like to remove the cap, clean the mesh and re-glue it somehow. The unit is some form of ABS plastic.
    Pump itself works totally fine.

    @jackbepablo Just realised I don't have an inkling on how hot air cooled stuff runs really.

  • Water gets cooled in the radiator, oil doesn't hence the difference in temps for the most part. Running temps are pretty similar at cruise. Even if you have an oil cooler, it's generally smaller as boiling point of oil is so much higher than water, and it's not really the oil that does the cooling in an air-cooled bike.

  • Normal operating temp for the R9T is 113 or something
