I need to look into how to coat my tank or get rid of the rust in it. Crazy that these tanks have problems, it's not a 30 year old bike. Damn Suzuki!

You were right, I pulled the pump and there was some thick chunks of what appears to be rust or something. When she fell over it must have dislodged something. I'm hoping this fixes my problem. I should have known it was something like this, considering the only problems I've had with this...

I'm going to pull my pump today and see what I have going on. I'm hoping it's something dumb like that.

That did cross my mind, and I've had this tank off, upsideown, and shaken around so many times that I dont know about anything at the bottom of the tank. Update, it was hot and I got caught in traffic. Temp was about at where the fan comes on, I have a little less than half a tank. 1st gear...

She is all stock. Moisture is a possibility, but she can sit in the hot sun all day and have no problems when I leave work. It's only when the motor gets warm. I'll play with it some more today and see what I can come up with.

I'm going to get a fuel pressure gauge, and zip tie it to my dash. I'll watch it when it's running good so I know the pattern. Then when the gremlins kick in, I should be able to see a noticeable change. IF fuel delivery is my problem. When I was having fuel problems before, I would hit a...

Fuel pump is brand new, I'm going to see if things change as I get closer to an empty tank. It fell on the right side (brake side), I pulled the fairing and didn't see anything that caught my eye. I've had fuel problems since I bought this bike, bad fuel pump is why I got it cheap. Replaced...

I don't think that's the issue, she died before it even went flat on the ground. It's a possibility though. I did a test run after checking the little stuff, I stayed moving for a while on a back road and had no issues. As soon as I hit a red light and sat there for a minute I lost power...

Yes it was idling. It starts up every time without an issue, but after ten minutes or so of riding, I'll gas it from a stop and she's gutless. She still goes all the way through the rpm band, just doesn't have power like she should.

2 days ago my bike was knocked over in a parking lot, frame slider and bar ends saved her for the most part. Up until then she has been running great. I bypassed the high pressure filter in the tank and used an inline filter, and that brought my midrange and top end back to life. She was only...

I pulled the pump apart again and the 0-ring between the pump and filter was torn. Changed that out with one that seemed to fit. Was fine riding yesterday, now it seems to be back today. I'm going to order a replacement, back flush the filter, and look into some sort of external set up.

Recently my 02 busa started with a flat spot around 9k and up. I pulled the fuel pump and cleaned the screen, it was dirty. Almost seemed worse after that, my next guess would be fuel injectors or the high pressure filter after the pump. That's what that black cartridge on the fuel pump...

3 points of contact. 2 on the side, and 1 on the bottom.

Here's the bracket under the rear fairing that the bracket with the stud bolts to.

I'm confused on what you mean?
