My Grandma used to say "too much sugar for-a-dime" now I know what she meant.

Anyone run this? Mine oem is still running, but wonder if I should replace since I found a lot of rust in the fuel filter. Need to clean the tank first.

That is cheap!

I bought one exactly like that about 2 years ago for my Vmax. The parts are interchangable with the OEM pump. I used the OEM end plate to keep the plumbing right, and the OEM bracket in place of the one that came with the pump. Installation and operation, flawless.

I know a few people running them with no problems.

Isn't China great!

Geez, that is cheap. Bet it would work on a V65 too! Gonna get me one, while they are still cheap!

That looks like the pump Kyle advised me to buy to replace the bad one in my '85 this past summer. I just got longer gas lines and didn't change the outlet plate. Pump works great, but is louder than stock. 100% happy with it, and saved a lot of money..

Heck,I was knocking them,but if they run like some of you are saying Im getting one for a spare then.

BTW, I bought the $25 version and it works, maybe a bit louder. I reused the OEM mounting hardware.

I've seen some comments about adapting the bracket to make it fit on the Vmax, it's clear that the one that comes with this replacement cannot be used. Other comment says that he used the original bracket on the new Pump, but I don't see how it's possible since the original is part of the body. If anyone has a solution, please let me know. Thanks !!!

You can take the pumps apart, and change the rotation of the outlets. I believe that someone took the inside of the new pump, into the old case.

They are designed to be taken apart to clean the bronze screens in them, replace the diaphragms...etc.

Once you connect the 2 fuel lines and turn the tabs towards the front of the motorcycle you are going to find that it will stay in place with no movement at all.

I'll check when the new one arrives next week, but after taking apart the old one, it does not seem to be possible, but lets see with the other on hand. Thanks for the reply. Hope someone that has done it already would reply.

Easy task!
The $25 Pump arrived yesterday.
1. Took off the bracket that came with it.
2. Original bracket form the old pump fits perfectly on the new pump after disassembling.
3. Also used the old fuel pipes plate from the Old Pump (another perfect fit). That way I did not have any trouble to make hoses fit.

Thanks for the HELP guys!!!

Now I am considering if I should do myself:

- Change front forks seals (leaking)
- Change carburetor boots and hoses. Bike is running 2K rpm in idle. I found a leak using starter spray.

Any considerations? Advices?...

By the way, I bought my 93 Vmax back in 97, had long years of a lot of fun. After being parked for more than 2 years, I tough it would not be worse making it run again.
Than, one day I decide to do a little "CPR" and to see what would happened.
For my surprise, using gas form an external tank (Mine had lots of corrosion) and a new battery it started on the first try.
Changed hydraulic kits on the brakes and clutch, new battery, new seat cover, power coated wheels.
Now I've gone 2K miles after that and cannot stop riding!
Budget is tied, so I really need to do the work as much as I can myself.

Changing the fork seals is pretty easy.
Just be sure to use OEM Yamaha fork seals, all the aftermarket seals tend to leak fairly soon after installing them.
I did mine a few years ago and it was a straight forward job.
I installed Progressive brand fork springs while I had the forks apart and used 10 wt. Maxima racing fork fluid and I'm really happy with the improved handling
