Hello MOA,
I recently had an Enduralast 43mm Fuel pump kit installed in my '02 GS. The original set up was a mess (disintegrated rubber hoses floating in the tank etc). I had the new kit installed by a local BMW dealer. The shop is reputable, and from my experience they do good work. I’m confident everything was done correctly. There was a turbine-like whine coming from the new fuel pump after install. You could hear it over the motor. EME was awesome and sent me a replacement. The new one was as loud the original. It sounds like a table-saw.
- The pump sound is consistent. It doesn’t change pitch as I ride.
- The throttle response is snappy and smooth. The motor doesn’t seem to be fuel starved. It felt fantastic on a recent ride in the mountains.
- The sound is consistent no matter what the fuel level is.
- The filter is brand new (came with the kit).
I know some aftermarket pumps are louder than others. If it's the way this product sounds or if there’s a breaking-in period, I’ll live with it. If it sounds abnormal like a component is straining, I’d like to know before I’m stranded. Please let me know what you think.
Thank you!
