when your fuel pump cuts on do you hear anything else besides the fuel pump...kinda like a little rattle or motor or something? just wondering. i just switched bikes and didn't hear it on my old one or anybody else's i had ridden. new bike is 04 gsxr 1000. thanks for any info

 

yea the 04 is noisy as hell, alot of clicking, buzzing, tapping, and some noises that sound like a old dot matrix printer, and it doesn't always sound the same so as long as it runs i wouldn't worry

 

no doubt...yeah, dot matrix printer...haha that's exactly what it sounds like. word. oh yeah, and i read a bunch of specs that say the rear tire is 190-50 and mine came w/ a 180-55?? thought that was kinda strange

 

You bought it brand new right? They definetly come from the factory with a 190, alot of guys, me included, will put a 180 on there for quicker handling, but thats not what comes on them from the factory... is it the same kind of tire front and rear?

 

yeah, they both match up. it was brand new too! i was kinda lost on that one

 

thats pretty wierd, either a mix up at the factory which is the first i've heard of or maybe at the shop it caught a nail on the pre-delivery inspection and they replaced it accidentally with a 180... what kind of tires are they?
