V7 Racer fuel pressure regulator question.

I just pulled the regulator, and bingo. I can blow air straight through it, it's not holding any pressure at all.

New regulator is out for delivery, should have news by the end of the day today.

Also discovered a nice helping hand trick for fuel tank/pump removal :inlove:

Well, I guess I posted in the right thread, because I had the exact same issue all said and done.

I'll never know if my old fuel pump & filter could have survived the caked-on ethanol gum deposits from sitting without stabilizer added, but I do know now that it wouldn't have been pretty. Now the whole fuel system is practically brand new, including the metal fuel filter from gtm. Great peace of mind.

This thing is running like brand new!
 
Thanks for posting this thread and the parts link.. I had given up trying to start my 2013 after 3 years also. killed a battery, would only puff once. Mechanic has been working on it ECU isn't throwing errors.. replaced plastic fuel filter and that didn't help. I have the Guzzitech intake no top air box so it would barely then start but couldn't take any gas and die. Ordered Regulator, crossing fingers.
 
Greetings Guzzista,
I have a 2012 V7 Racer - US version. On Saturday afternoon, I was riding around for a while. The fuel light came on and I stopped to refuel. I got back on the road and suddenly the engine stopped and I stay out of the road. I tried several times to start it and it didn't work. On Sunday I turned on the computer and ran diagnostic software. No issues was show from the ECU. Then I ran the tests: Fuel pump, Left and right ignition, Left and right injectors. Everything is fine. Then I tested the spark plugs (old school style). I couldn't get it to start. I got the bike as a gift and I've only had it for a couple of years. I use ethanol-free fuel (REC-90) and a couple a months ago I putted in an additive to clean the injectors (Liqui Moly).
Could it be the same problem with the fuel pressure regulator?
I would appreciate your advice before to spend money buying spare parts.
 
I ran across this with a 750 Breva, lack of fuel pressure. Faulty pressure regulator but they are not separately available but was able to scavenge one from another fuel pump assembly.

But if the fuel filter hasn't been replaced by an all metal one and one of those half plastic ones was installed it may have split. Also check for disconnected internal hose if you don't have fuel pressure.
