Hey all... anybody ever taken their fuel pump out of their ''93-95 CBR900RR and just let it gravity feed? Mine went kaput so I took the whole thing out and just hooked the tank to the carbs with a Goldwing inline fuel filter and although it''s a temporary fix I used to roll home on, I''m just wondering what type of problems I may experience from this if I let it run this way for awhile until I can scrape the $170.00 bucks together to get a new pump. I know that the fuel pump is incorporated in the design of the bike and obviously serves a purpose, BUT... has anybody on here ever done this and what were your results? I figure as long as I keep enough gas in the tank to provide enough pressure that I shouldn''t have a problem overflowing the carbs because the needles will seat up and keep things from flooding, but not to sure so that''s why I''m here.
Thanks to all in advance!

when i bought my 94 it was the same way, no pump just gravity. i ran it for 6 months not even knwing it should have a pump fitted lol. wasnt until i was rebuilding it i found it should have 1 there. managed to get 1 off eBay in good order for just under $50. as far as riding and running goes, i had no probs at all, even going onto the reserve a few times as well. it would run fine.

i''ve run mine with gravity feed since I bought it, the fuel cut relay died so I unhooked the fuel pump. runs fine, but eventually i''ll hook it back up

Thanks for your replies guys... simple physics dictates that weight = pressure = gas to the carbs, but I just wanted to make sure from others experiences that this wouldn''t interfere with anything within the fuel system... Another thing is my ''95 900 doesn''t have ram air, so it doesn''t even need a fuel pump to offset the forced induction air pressure, and I can''t figure out why they even put one on there in the first place other than to overcomplicate things, which is unlike Honda, and get more money from us at the stealerships... but oh well, at least it runs, and it runs way better without it. Again guys, thanks!
