Re: GS800 cutting out.
Well I had to go into Preston today to sort some stuff out so I took the bike.
I replicated pretty much the type of journey last week when it was cutting out. Some 50/60/70mph stuff then loads of stop-start city traffic.
45 miles and it behaved impeccably. Am I in the clear or am I heading for a fall?

Can you please let me know the Toyota model year or even better the Toyota pump part number. Thanks.

Brilliant mate! I had a quick look for the one I had hanging around my garage 2 years ago but I think the pump fairy has been.Q plate wrote:Plenty on ebay around the £20 mark?

Re: GS800 cutting out.
I only found out about the ability to replace the original with a Toyota Corola pump after a conversation with a chap who rode around Africa on an 800GS and it broke down - once the problem had been identified as the pump he was told by a local bush mechanic that a $35 Toyota pump would solve his problem and not to bother spending circa £350 on a genuine BMW one
