got the bike back, dealer said the pumps been revised so theres suppose to be no more failures.

Lol sucks for the rest of us!

Wonder if that's true or not?

Do you have the revised part number for this new pump?

mr_beat said:

If it is true that there is a revised pump, then there is a good chance that even if a pump goes bad out of warranty, that yamaha will step up and cover it.

Of course some of that may depend on your dealer and your relationship with the dealer and/or their relationship with their yami rep.

Doesn't seem voluntary recall worthy but you never know.

It's been my experience working with Yamaha warranty on their outboards, that they will more than likely step up and give you the part(s) if you are a little out of warranty. You may have to pay labor to have it installed though. If you are WAY out of warranty, they might not be so generous. But this bike is so new that nobody is WAY out of warranty yet. You are right though. Your dealer plays a big part in the whole process. A good dealer with a good reputation with Yamaha will more than likely get you the part (and maybe even labor if you're lucky).

part # 3d7-13907-00-00, is the part number on the invoice. it also says the bikes rated at 29hp lol.

That's the same as the number for the current fuel pump listed in Yamaha's online parts catalog: 3D7-13907-00-00 FUEL PUMP COMP.

Usually if a part is updated the number will change (ie. the last part will be -01-00 instead of -00-00)

yup:thumbsup:

no idea just whats on there, havent even had time to ride it yet.

Got my old pump back and removed the pump/motor unit from the plastic housing.
It's part # is 1100-01090 07123021 'Made in China" By a company that looks like ARRAM.
Googled all of the above but could only find a pump for a Yamaha 'Fazer'

http://www.diytrade....maha_Fazer.html

Good price $6.82 To bad about the Quantity (500)
It looks identical to the WR pump but wouldn't know without some specs.
Can't believe it, All these problems for a $7.00 part:banghead:
I'll keep searching see what I can come up with.

Wonder if it's the same pump used in the Yamaha Phaser snowmobile? I own one of those also. I could probably find 'salvaged' pumps for a snowmobile alot easier, as far as finding a used one. I haven't had a problem with mine yet, 1800 miles. Going to talk about an extended warenty when i'm done with this post. Just nervous about it now!

Fuel pump went out 4 days before warranty expired. That's the good news, the bad's part on order with no expected ship date. Bike has only 2000 miles on it. I don't know build date but I'm betting early 08. Bikes in shop waiting for part. Weather is great and I'm chomping at the bit.

Was almost positive the Fazer/Lander/JDM (08-)Serow 250 uses the Aisin injection, so thats odd - its the XT/Raptor/Tricker/Lander 250 Lump. Maybe the same pump tho. Fazer is assembled in China and Brazil so the pump probably a local source item

I am really curious now, build 2/08 with a vin of low 150's, it is an "R" model, so, was Yamaha manufacturing these bikes in 2 different locations ? Seems that some of the manufacture dates and vin #'s don't run sequentially. I currently have 3k miles on it. I was out one day riding locally and the temps were up well in the 95+ range and the riding speed was slow, twice after we stopped I restarted the bike put it in gear and cracked the throttle to take off and it quit running but fired up instantly and away I went. This was the only day and ride this happened, nothing like this before or to date.

Before my pump sh*t itself completely., It had the similar symptoms as yours,
only a couple of times, and not in any extreme heat.Didn't think much about it at the time, Just turned the key off and on again hit the the starter and away it went. I live in south east Queensland and summer time can be 40°C This happened in Winter time around 24°C. When my pump started failing it would always fire up after a time and I could get home.I could never simulate the problem riding on the road.It was only when I pulled the pump out (after it failed) while on the trail that the heat on the motor/pump housing was noticed, To hot to touch it! This got me thinking it was more of a pump problem.The only way the guys at Yamaha could get it to fail was to leave it idling, it should cut out after 20mins from the ECU. Mine died after a few minutes and couldn't be started.New pump fitted under warranty and all was good again, But for how long?
I will disassemble the pump to see if it will shed any light as to what is happening.

Having the same problem with my pump too. Build 2/08 & 1525. approx. 1200 miles. Only happens when trail riding on real hot days.

For those of you who have had your pump replaced, how did you convince the dealer it was a fuel pump issue? I'm not going to be able to re-create the issue riding circles in the dealer parking lot.

So from browsing this thread, it seems most of the people having issues have bikes built in 2/08?

And an update, mine had 13,000+ miles on it now, has been run out of gas in 95+ degree heat at twice and twice more in cooler weather, and run for a damn long time on reserve as well. No issues, again 01/08 and 1090.

Has it ever stalled out on you? Mine stalled pulling out of the dealer. That was probably not a good sign. But generally I have not had any issues after that. Never any hard starts or stranded. I expect it to come some day though.

My WRX is having this problem, it is in for a new fuel pump, and the dealer says it is backordered until the end of september this isn't right. My bike with 200 miles on it decides to crap out and leave me stranded TWICE! And it was having trouble starting for a few days, all in very high outside temp. (90-100 all week) this sucks
