Woohoo - way to go![sm=happybounce.gif]

Sure beats getting out somewhereaway from home with a dead pump! I assume you can pick it back up Friday or Saturday morning which means no weekends lost. Great news!

Keep the rubber down, and a smile on that face!

I heard mine honking/groaning like a dying canadian goose on a low tank yesterday...I heard it once before, not on a low tank but it was after I let it sit for a week. I figure its not long for the world.

Mine is on H/D, from what I read it shouldn't not take more than an hr to do the work! The bike is still in warranty.

The problem is with the O'rings in the Fuel Pressure Regulator...which is part of the Fuel Pump Assembly. No cost to you.

They did the o'ring fixand the heat shield fix both in one hour.

Does this affect all '07s or just those made beforea certain date? Is there an official H-Drecall announcement or statement on this problem that can be quoted toa dealer, should they question it?
