fuel pump replacement - '11 TE310

I went straight from swapping the crooked TE triple on the bike with an aluminum TXC triple to replacing the fuel pump. I picked up one from CA Cycleworks based on the advice of riders on this forum so I thought I'd post some pics.

I zip tied the housing to itself so it wouldn't come unlatched while riding. I've read about that happening once or twice.

those pumps work fine.

I'm using one on my 2010.

I notice that you have clamps on the pump outlet and filter inlet. Pre-existing, CA-CW, or your own whim?

Any issues dealing with that stock fuel line (or is that new CA-CW stuff)?

I was not able to re-use the stock fuel line.

I cut it off and used the Gates submersible line.

Interesting to see how different that pump housing is than the early FI bikes (2008 TE450 in my case).

I'm guessing it's because the 4-bolt plastic flange takes up less real estate than the 6-bolt aluminum flange; making it easier to locate the pump at the low spot in the tank. The outlet flange can be located anywhere in the tank because there is about 24" of fuel line between them (4' total of that expensive, hard to work submersible stuff).

An expensive, heavy solution to a non-problem, IMNSHO.
