I have fixed my slipping fuel pump twice. The last time was about 4 months ago and after relocating the zip ty it was working perfectly for a couple months. It now is acting just like it did when the pump was slipping. When I have about .6 gallons left the bike will act like it is running out of gas when I get on the brakes. I checked the pump and this time is had not slipped from the base. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

What bike year/model- what tank?
If it only happens when you are on the brakes from 60-0mph- maybe ist just from the fuel going to the front of the bike- I assume if that's the case the issue does not come up that much?
Maybe it is slipping in and out- and when you checked it it was "in". I wired mine- verticaly and horizontally- it has never moved. With my IMS 3gal on my 09TE450- I rarely get low enough to notice- But I have ran it totally dry without any noticable symptoms, once.

08 510 smr. Stock tank. I did it vertically and horizontally as well. After fixing it the second time it would run totally dry with no problems then after a couple months it started dying when on the brakes again so I know it can work properly. Maybe it is slipping in and out. I'll go back and check. It acts up every single time the bike gets down to .6 gallons.
