New to the deuce, quick question on humming pump.

[Micmada]

Once I shut it down after a trip, I hear some kind of humming which must be the lift fuel pump. Am I correct? Also, are these originally equipped with a hair drier, if not I was thinking of installing one if possible. I am thinking of changing the fuel filters too but I hope it is not going to cause one of those gremlins with the idler stuck in shut position.

thanks.

If you haven't already or can't confirm last maintenance performed, I would change all oils, filters and lube all fittings.

No air dryer to my knowledge but good idea to install 2 drain valves with lanyard to facilitate actuation.

I have changed the oil filters but not yet the greased the grease points. I think I need to change the front boots and check the seals and brakes because the brake force is weak (wet?).

I empty the air tanks opening the drain cocks after a day's ride but sometimes there still is a bit of moisture recondensing overnight. Wondering if I am going to leave them open instead.

Not sure, but someone can chime in… I’m pretty sure you can open the lines/tanks an pour in som alcohol based water removal stuff in there….

The in-tank fuel pump is electric. With the master power switch on you should hear it. If it ever stops working, remove the 2 small nuts on that top cover then carefully remove that small cover. There’s a small round automotive fuse under the cover that goes bad. That, or the ground is corrode.
