Fitting a K1200RS fuel pressure regulator to your GS :thumb

Instead of all the other crap that everyone fits
 
Instant throttle response -

Liken it to Dell Ortos with accellerator pumps -


you snap open the throttle = big dollops of fuel get squirted in instantly = instant takeoff :thumb .

GS fuel pressure regulator = 3 bar

K1200 pressure regulator = 3.5 bar

Of course, you don't get anything for nothing. But not as bad as you think. Around 6-10miles less per tankful of fuel .

But the same consumption if you don't keep whacking the throttle open.

But you will. Ohh You will :D
 
my experience of dellorto pumper carbs is that it's nearly impossible to tell if the pumps are even working :nenau

Take them off the inlet stubs, look into the carb body, and twist the throttle.

if your eyes sting, and you can't see for a few days, the one you tested is ok.
When your sight returns, repeat procedure for the other side :thumb

You will then be classed as a Dellorto jedi
 
that's how i found out that one on my le mans wasn't working, couldn't tell by riding it.

cookie, dellorto padawan.
 
Can I fit one to my 650?

I think I have a fuelling problem, it feels like it's only firing on one cylinder.

I'm not sure you can use more fuel fannykins - not if fuel consumption from Maggor to Clackets is anything to go by :eek: :eek:

He dont worry about fuel consumption now Andy, he's only getting 40 miles to the gallon - OF CLUTCH FLUID :D :D :D

Taken tuesday on the PWAB stage II run :rolleyes:

Is fitting a K1200RS fuel pressure regulator to your GS simple? Sounds great and i'd be up for trying it on my Adventure - unfortunately I don't know where it is :o - is it in the tank or under the seat somewhere? I might try it on my HP2 as well :eek: ... you never know :D ....


edit: ... just seen this... do you really have to remove the ABS unit?? :eek: :eek:

But O' wise Obi Wan Steptoe. :bow
Would it not be simpler to look through the Carb from air filter end and squirt Ants on the pavement???
let them have the stinging eyes :D

At the risk of being branded a smart arse, I think the fuel pressure reg' on a 1200GS is already a 3.5 bar jobbie.

As to testing dellsnorto pumps, I suggest the possibility of some kind of son-e-luminare would be more entertaining. If a small pilot light were arranged at the downstream end of each the carb' then testing could be done to the accompanyment of your favourite rousing tune with fiery jets of burning petrol spewing alternately from each side. This too would be beneficial in reducing the ant population and impress the neighbours, at least until the flames took hold of their Mondeo.
