Yes, if you pull the pump from the bottom of the tank it will be part of that assembly.

had a similar problem on my gsxr 1000. Turned out to be a dead coil. Couldn't tell anything was wrong with the bike till you really tried to smash the throttle then you definetly knew something was amiss.

What year?

99 & 00 it is NOT in the tank, but behind it bolted to the frame on right side. Huge pain to change out. I got gasoline everywhere changing mine.

01-07 it is a different tank, and take the tank off, flip it upside down and remove fuel pump.

You should also replace all the fuel lines depending on age of the bike when you do this mod, plus rubber seals and gaskets. The rubber slowly degrades from the fuel, and these bikes are getting 10+ years old. BikeBandit.com is a good source for fiche to look at and order needed parts.

01+ tank:

01-07 fuel pump, note the '99-00 fuel pumps are external.
