Default fuel pump
My fuel pump sounds horrible. Fuel mileage down to 38mpg, The pump sounds like i turbine with a whine. Any advise on a fix/replacement. OEM or after market? 33,000 miles on bike, never had service to the fuel pump/filters ect. Thanks TonyD

Check the regulator and the fuel filter shell. Replace the filter whilst at it.

Probably the fuel filter shell or the regulator. The hose snaps onto the regulator and has been know to pop off.
