    2007 Rocket III sudden illness has me baffled? Help keep my money out of stealerships pockets.

    OK, I wanted to report that all those back-firing & sputtering issues were indeed caused by the old ethanol gas. It had ate up all the rubber bits inside the gas tank. The only parts inside that miraculously survived was the fuel pump(I can't believe it either!) and the fuel pump screen. All...

    Yes, these are all good suggestions. I'll check ebay for some parts like the fuel gauge sending unit. I noticed the parts diagram for the fuel pump did not show the pump screen as a separate part? Is it only available with a new pump? I'll take that number from you please on the new filter, thanks!!

    Anyone know someone who is parting out an R3? I suddenly have an interest in a fuel pump assembly. I have to assume that the ethanol in the old gas did this? Is anyone taking the time to find non-ethanol gas for their bikes?

    Fuel Pump assembly?

    I need to replace my 2007 R3 fuel pump assembly, which includes the fuel gauge sending unit, basically I'd like the whole thing. Thought someone might know someone with a wrecked bike that has parts for sale here in the States?

    Ok, I pulled the fuel pump assembly out of the tank. I could not believe what I saw!!!!! Most all the rubber had melted into blobs of hard plastic? There is light powder corrosion all over the parts. The fuel gauge sending unit was stuck in place, when I began to loosen it up, metal parts popped...

    2007 R3 Was running perfect, now I can barely keep it running?

    I am seriously amazed that after all these years, that this issue with my gauges seems to be rare, only one other post came close to describing the same issue and even it had no mention of the motor gasping for life trying to run. A month ago, all was fine, bike was started in my garage, ran for...

    Ok, those 30 ampere wires were fixed, they are not coming loose any longer, perfectly good connection with the fuses now. Gauges have now gone back to reading wrong. Seems that simply removing the power from the bike for a few minutes seems to help. But once power is restored for a few minutes...

    OK making some progress! Like Mully said, the fuse holder 30 amp spots are weak, tiny plastic clips worthless with age, and sure enough, the wires were falling out. I think this is what was causing those gauge errors. So I put the 30amp wires back in place, held them, then squirted some clear...

    OK making some progress! Like Mully said, the fuse holder 30 amp spots are weak, tiny plastic clips worthless with age, and they were falling out. So I put the wires in place, held them, then squirted some clear adhesive into the two chambers which will dry holding the wires in place. I'll check...

    I found the loose connection, you both were right! The wires are slipping out of fuse holder. Quick question, Is there anything to manipulate to have those wires STAY in the correct place? I don't see the normal tiny clips that would hold wires in connectors?

    Hello, for the past couple years I haven't been riding as much due to a leaking front fork seal. I have been cranking her up regularly and/or riding up and down the local road on short trips. Now the FIRST time ever, I had trouble cranking her up, and when it did, it was a struggle to keep the...
