Fuel Pump Current (Amps) Testing and Load.

[Kiwi Rider]

I thought I’d make a short informative video on current load testing on my Busa.
This will be a good reference tool for anyone wanting to know what the current load should look like for the fuel pump.
Often when fuel pumps are clogged up or worn out they drag extra current to keep running.
My bike in the vid has an external pump (1999 model) and I fitted a new pump motor (USA built aftermarket part) and cleaned all screens and fitted new OEM fuel filter about 40,000kms ago.

Just to be clear, the meter in the above video clip shows 5.68 amperes for the fuel pump circuit.
The meter has an adaptive fuse blade on the tip that plugs into the existing fuse holder.
It is 20 Amps maximum

How come I’ve gone over 80,000 miles w/o any fueling issues and I’ve never done a thing to my fuel pump or filter.
