Oh no Willow, not again! Yr having a nightmare arent ya lass? Dont know what else to suggest other than perhaps a trade in?
Bikeabill
have you checked to see if the vent pipe is clear, easy way to tell is to see if it runs ok with tank cap open
willow
i wish i could afford a trade in but am super skint!!
not sure what my man that can did , but RAC man said new fuel pump............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, bloody bike
yamahama
good job you sorted recovery out!!
willow
yeah, RAC must be sick of me by now!! do you think i'll get invited to staff xmas party this year at this rate ? lol
yamahama
Don't know about that. But I don't fancy your renewal premiums. Do you think you'll get a discount for being a frequent user?
willow
lol ,,,yeah i hope so...regular customer n all that...heheh

willow aside from the fuel problem over the last few months that bikes got you all over the place including the North Lakes in March!
It's a lovely looking bike and I think you should stick with it. There's a load of fuel pumps on Ebay from reputable sellers who accept returns to protect their feedback. They range from £45 to £90.00 depending on model etc but it's got to be worth a shot if a new one is really expensive. Don't leave any feedback until you've ran the bike for a couple of weeks at least so you've always got some comeback with the seller, if you go down this route that is!
Nothing more frustrating than an intermittent problem but if you sort it now, you've got a cracking little bike

I'm with RK on this Willow. The CBR600 is a cracking bike, "benchmark motorcycling not that long ago" a friend of mine said recently.
It's easy to become despondent when a bike gives you grief over a few weeks, but the way to look at it is that once it's sorted, it'll be a smashing little bike.
