BMW K75 Fuel Pump Issue
I've have been offered a 1995 BMW K75LT for a resonable sum but it has on issue with it - a loud whining fuel pump (I know they all whine so some extent). The bike has to be bought with this fault.
This is a new fuel pump as the owner replaced the original four weeks ago (himself) as the previous one had similar symptons. He unfortunately did not replace any of the fuel filters (one of which he said has a tear) whilst doing so. BMW have said that the failure to replace the fuel filter has ruined the new pump and another is required.
Any thoughts? Does this sound right? Could it actually be another problem not the fuel pump? I want to purchase this bike to ride through the Middle East back to the UK and would like something that isn't going to need continual repair. I also have an R80G/S bought for the journey but it is unlikely that this is going to be in a reliable condition in time so this is the next choice.
Thank you.
