Just wondering if the fuel pump is a common issue on the 1000? The guy who had rebuilt this bike had gone through two. I'm wondering if it's an elec issue, burning em up.

Check your voltage; your VRR may going, which will kill other, more expensive parts. The 1ks aren't as vulnerable to VRR failures as the smaller fizzers, but it happens.

So just check to see if proper voltage is coming in? Also, I've seen kits on rebuilding the pump, asst they worth it?

Put a Mr. Gasket pump on. On with about 3-5 psi they work great no flooding the carbs and last for a long time! $45.00 comparred to the oem $400+ pump
