4li3nVFR Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Hi, new to the forums here, and I am looking to replace my fuel pump assembly for my 2005 VFR800. The local Honda shop says it is on backorder and won't be able to get a hold of one for probably a month or more 🤥 This bike sat in storage for 6 years with old fuel in the tank and basically the bad fuel melted everything. I have been warned to not get an aftermarket pump and I have searched online and found a much better price for OEM ($400 vs. Honda's $600) but everyone is backordered and says a month or more. Can anyone help in locating one? I'm desperate to get back in the saddle! 😜 Thanx for any help or advice you can give. P.S. part # is 16700-MCW-D02 Edited January 27, 2021 by 4li3nVFR add part # Quote
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted January 27, 2021 Member Contributer Posted January 27, 2021 Check ebay, there are a number of used OEM to choose from. Quote
Member Contributer Grum Posted January 27, 2021 Member Contributer Posted January 27, 2021 Agree with Cogswell re ebay. There are other good alternatives to OEM or used OEM. Check out this KEMSO unit. Made in Japan, lifetime warranty and compatible with Ethanol Fuel up to E85 which I trust you'll never use!! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KEMSO-Fuel-Pump-for-Honda-VFR800-1998-2009-Replaces-16700-MCW-D02-/153749225469 1 Quote
Member Contributer raYzerman Posted January 27, 2021 Member Contributer Posted January 27, 2021 +1 on Grum's recommendation. Have used Kemso units in the past, wouldn't hesitate at all. Ebay has several listed. Quote
4li3nVFR Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Thanx for the info guys....much appreciated. The Honda shop warned me about buying non-OEM that they wouldn't last at all. I'm assuming this is bull****? Quote

You are assuming correct, a Honda stealership would say nothing else, and will always advise to ONLY use OEM! KEMSO would not offer a lifetime warranty if its Japanese product was crap! And raYzerman, having used them speaks highly of the product. Quote
