The fuel pump on my 2011 Dakar started to develop a slow leak during a recent trip down the Oregon Coast. Luckily the bike ran fine, and I was able to complete the trip and bring her home.
The dealer claimed that they had never seen a 990 with a leaky fuel pump. Water pumps, yes. But not fuel pumps.
Turns out that the entire pump needs to be replaced as a unit, which is fine with me since the bike is still under warranty.
Bad part is that it has to come from Memphis, TN.
Haven't been able to ride for two weeks now, waiting for the pump.
Scheduled to go in this weekend to have it replaced.
The price of pedigree!!!
