Removed my pump 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
I have a question about the pump wire. Do I need to do anything with the fuel pump connector now that there is no pump to plug into it?

I just taped mine up and tucked it away never to be used again.

That's cool I just wanted to make sure it wasn't part of the starter circuit.

You could hook a cell phone charger to it, and have a 12v power source that turns on with the key. Or maybe a power hookup for some tunes.

There are three ways of doing things. The right way, the wrong way, and then there is the Norwegian way.

Re:Removed my pump 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
Welcome to the Pumpless Federation. You have joined an elite group of men. Men who dare to be different. Who scoff at conformity. Who proudly hold our middle fingers high to factory specifications. Women want us. Men want to be us. And to the naysayers, well, just tell them, "Kiss my Grizzly valve!"

Let me tell you this, my fearless brother of the gravity-feed...those fuel injection guys, at night, as they sleep, they dream...they dream of having carburetors so they could be pumpless too. But that can never be. They are trapped...bottle-fed at 3psi like some lethargic infant, blindly groping for the teat. They will never know the pure joy you & I do from being free, Oh free at last, free at last, stand up and shout it from the rooftops! I have a dream, I have a dream, that someday, fuel will flow without the aid of electronic devices, by the natural flow of gravity which God gives to all men. That dream is our reality now, embrace it, and let it fill your heart with joy, and your carburetor with fuel, from this day forward and forever more, as long you shall live. (or your bike lives)

You have crossed over now. There's a different look in your eye. A swagger in your step. You're rake and raucous. Ready to take on all comers. Before losing that pump, you could never have imagined the way it is now. And soon, you won't remember the way it was. It'll be like some distant memory that fades into oblivion. And for those who choose to keep their pump, let them wallow in their nightmarish hell. For a man cannot be lead down the path of pumplessness...he has to take that first step himself. Congratulations.

Re:Removed my pump 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
Not to sound like a dumbass but what are the pros and cons of removing your fuel pump. I know you will no longer have the electrical draw but outside of that whats does it do. Believe it or not I am not mechanically challenged, but I am no expert in auto mechanics either.
