FUEL INJECTORS

REMOVAL

To prevent spray of fuel, purge system of high-pressure
fuel before supply line is disconnected. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00275a)

Do not use solvents or other products that contain chlorine
on plastic fuel system components. Chlorine can degrade
plastic fuel system components, which can cause a loss
of fuel system pressure or engine stalling and could result
in death or serious injury. (000621b)

1.

Purge the fuel supply hose of high pressure gasoline.
Disconnect fuel supply hose from fuel pump module. See

4.4 FUEL TANK: XL MODELS

or

4.5 FUEL TANK: XR

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause
death or serious injury, remove main fuse before pro-
ceeding. (00251b)

FUEL PUMP

GENERAL

Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel
system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00002a)

Do not replace the special Teflon coated fuel pump wiring
with ordinary bulk wire. Ordinary insulation materials can
deteriorate when put in contact with gasoline and cause
an explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00566b)

Do not use solvents or other products that contain chlorine
on plastic fuel system components. Chlorine can degrade
plastic fuel system components, which can cause a loss
of fuel system pressure or engine stalling and could result
in death or serious injury. (000621b)

Carefully inspect fuel hose for cuts, tears, holes or other
damage. Replace hose if any damage is found. Even a small
hole can cause a reduction in fuel pressure.

REMOVAL

To prevent spray of fuel, purge system of high-pressure
fuel before supply line is disconnected. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00275a)

1.

Purge the fuel supply hose of high pressure gasoline.
Disconnect fuel supply hose from fuel pump module. See

FUEL FILTER ELEMENT

GENERAL

Do not use solvents or other products that contain chlorine
on plastic fuel system components. Chlorine can degrade
plastic fuel system components, which can cause a loss
of fuel system pressure or engine stalling and could result
in death or serious injury. (000621b)

The fuel filter element is located in the fuel pump assembly
inside the fuel tank.

Check fuel system hose and fittings for leaks.

REMOVAL

To prevent spray of fuel, purge system of high-pressure
fuel before supply line is disconnected. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00275a)

1.

Purge the fuel supply hose of high pressure gasoline.
Disconnect fuel supply hose from fuel pump module. See

4.4 FUEL TANK: XL MODELS

or

4.5 FUEL TANK: XR

1200X

.

2.

Remove seat.

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause
death or serious injury, remove main fuse before pro-
ceeding. (00251b)

FUEL PRESSURE TEST

GENERAL

TOOL NAME

PART NUMBER

DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II

HD-48650

Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel
system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00002a)

The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel hose, a cavity in the
induction module that supplies the fuel injectors, and to the
pressure regulator. Excess fuel pressure is bypassed to the
fuel tank through the pressure regulator.

The fuel pump can be turned on with DIGITAL TECHNICIAN
II (Part No. HD-48650).

Improper fuel system pressure may contribute to one of the
following conditions:

Cranks, but does not run.

Cuts out (may feel like ignition problem).

Hesitation, loss of power or poor fuel economy.

TESTING

TOOL NAME

PART NUMBER

FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE

HD-41142

FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER

HD-44061

Connect the Fuel Pressure Gauge

1.

Purge the fuel supply hose and disconnect the fuel supply
hose from the fuel pump module.

a.

XL Models:

See

4.4 FUEL TANK: XL MODELS

.

b.

XR 1200X:

See

4.5 FUEL TANK: XR 1200X

.

2.

Connect the fuel pump connector [141].

NOTE

Do not kink the fuel hose when installing or removing fuel
pressure gauge and adapter.

3.

See

Figure 4-81

. Attach the FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE

ADAPTER (Part No. HD-44061) as follows:

a.

See

Figure 4-82

. Pull up on sleeve of fuel tank quick-

connect fitting (2) and insert neck of the fuel pressure
gauge adapter (3) into quick-connect fitting.

b.

Push up on bottom of adapter and pull down on sleeve
until it clicks. Tug on adapter to verify that it is locked
in place.

c.

In the same manner, connect vehicle's fuel supply
hose fitting (1) to quick-connect fitting (4) on the
adapter.

To prevent spray of fuel, be sure quick-connect fittings
are properly mated. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00268a)

4.

Verify that the fuel valve (6) and air bleed petcock on the
fuel pressure gauge are closed.

5.

See

Figure 4-83

. Remove protective cap from free end of

fuel pressure gauge adapter.

6.

Connect the FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE (Part No. HD-
41142) to the Schroeder valve.

Perform Test

1.

Start and idle engine to pressurize the fuel system. Open
the fuel valve to allow the flow of fuel down the hose of
the pressure gauge.

2.

Purge air from gauge and hose:

a.

Position the clear air bleed tube in a suitable con-
tainer.

b.

Open and close the air bleed petcock to purge the
gauge and hose of air.

c.

Repeat this step several times until only solid fuel
(without bubbles) flows from the air bleed tube.

d.

Close the petcock.

3.

Open and close throttle to change engine speed. Note the
reading of the pressure gauge.

4.

Turn the engine OFF and service as necessary. Refer to

Table 4-3

.
