Is there a fuel punp on the Gs twins?
I have a friend who says it does, but I have never seen it

Nope it's Gravity Feed.

I new it!  my friend said it would not work without it Thank you for clarifying.

Ask him to show you where on the bike it is and point it out to you....then when he cant, call him a BS merchant.

Ask your friend if he's checked his turn signal fluid lately...

LOL... if I ask him that he will probably start thinking about it before he gets it!

Fuel injection bikes won't work without one, so almost all newer bikes do. Not sure I've ever seen one on a carbureted bike, but there must be some. That's one of the reasons that the traditional location of the fuel tank is where it is, above the engine.

The very low-pressure fuel feed is the reason we have to be very careful about the type of fuel filters we use.

I'm guessing that those few older bikes with the real fuel tanks in odd places, like under the seat, must have fuel pumps.

My friend had a 97 Honda CBR F3i (which he crashed and broke his arm in 3 pieces, and then sold it to me), and this bike has a fuel pump, this is probably why he thinks every bike should have one..

Thought it was next to the fluxcapacitor? Hmmmm.

No, no. It is just above and to the left (as referenced from the rider sitting) of the ramifordistat  (pronounced rami-for-distat). This is a common misconception that we frequently try to correct here on GSTwin.

Do the muffler bearings ever go bad on GS's???  I don't see them in the manual...........

I'm have'n a problem with the ion denoodle port. Its blown its flechpacking all over the ground...that happened on my harley all the time!

Lots of carbureted bikes have fuel pumps...just about any supersport made after 1995 had one.  Honda has always been big on fuel pumps starting back with some of the early GL's.  My CB900C had a vac-operated diaphram pump.

Lots Of Snwmobiles have Pumps too.

Carb vehicles usually have fuel pumps when the carbs are above the tank... ya know, when the gravity won't push the fuel uphill into the carbs... usually low pressure and low velocity

my 02 kawa zzr1200 has 2 yes TWO fuel pumps.  Kind of crazy for Kawa to do that, but it is there.

you need a fuel pump if you put nitrous on your bike. It's basically a fuel injector so it needs more pressure to squirt the go go juice into the vroom vroom maker.

I'll BITE.....WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
what does NOx have to do with the operation of a carb?
NOx is under pressure but the fuel doesn't have to be.....

I think he was "just saying"...
