Reply To: Testing without tank – GT650R 2009 EFi
Hmmm! Good question, auxilary canisters dripping with fuel is easy for carb bikes but alas with EFI we need the physical tank pressure and also the pump can’t run dry whatsoever as it kills it.
How about this….. .”USE EXTREME CAUTION” and wisdom please….. but with that , lets:
- Go find a good spot in the garage, and see if you can get hook in the ceiling beam? a strong one!!!
- Get a cargo net x 6 , yes 6 cargo nets
- Put the tank onthe cargo nets x3 (3 nets at the bottom)
- Then use them with someone next to you to hook each end of the net with some kind of towing rope on ceiling
- Repeat again with 3 cargo nets, it sounds crazy but you want to avoid any situation or pump shakes causing the tank to fall down as that’s an instant fire hazard.#
but again …use extreme caution and wisdom!
Run to halfords and get 8-10mm braided hose and fuel clips and come back home , connect the pump to the throttle bodies and tighten#
the tank must be high enough / low enough that you can still use electric plug to connect it without pulling the harness!
now you can actually test what’s going on under the hood with the tank that’s hanging above the frame
I hope this makes any sense ?
