Here is the issue: 500+ miles this past Sunday with no issues at all. Today I take the 12R out (Tuesday) and it's like I hit a brick wall around 8K RPMs. The bike is still strong under 8K but the throttle feels "sluggish" for lack of a better description.
After doing a little bit of research, it appears that 12Rs seem to have an issue with their fuel pump. I turned my ignition on and off several times and twice in a row the pump sounded odd while charging the fuel rail. After that it cleared up and I could not repeat the sound. The pump has a touch over 21K miles on it.
I have warranty coverage on the bike through July of '09 so getting it fixed isn't the issue. Getting it fixed in a reasonable amount of time is! Is there a way I can test the fuel pump so when I go to G&G for the warranty repair I can give them definitive proof that the pump is to blame to speed up the process?
I could change the pump myself in about 30 minutes but the shop must do all warranty repairs. If it were not so retardedly expensive ($400) I would just bypass the warranty and buy the pump myself.
