I hate to say this but I have not ridden my 2001 1500 for over 3 years. But wanting to ride again. So i did all the usual stuff, fluid changes, filters..... Turn the key and no fuel pump noise. Now I have some rust in the tank and was going to clean with metal rescue later. I have looked for what the manual states by replacing the whole assembly but when I looked at the price of that, my heart almost stopped, $600.00 ish.....
If I just take the fuel assembly out and clean it, what filter and pump would you guys recommend using?? Part numbers??
Thank you
If I recall, some members here have used fuel pumps costing a lot less than the $600 price. Try doing a search on the forum, I think they may have gotten them on ebay. Good luck.
Here's one on ebay at a fraction of the $600 price. There are also others to choose from. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Replacement-Fuel-Pump-Kit-w-Filter-2001-2005-Kawasaki-Vulcan-1500-Drifter/112433831798?epid=1023005718&hash=item1a2d941f76:g:WikAAOSwDkVaS79q&vxp=mtr
Thank you for the link. I have looked at previous topics with no real part number. The $600 price is for the whole unit, everything, minus the GASKET part number 11060-1929 not just the fuel pump. The link that you sent, is it the exact same size? What about fuel filter?
Thanks again......

Not sure but I believe that the 1999 and 2000 had external fuel pumps, mine is a 2001 with a internal fuel tank pump....that link says 1999-2000....
The 1999 and 2000 1500 Drifters have in-tank fuel pumps too.

I'm interested in hearing form folks that have successfully used one of these pumps - I'm thinking about getting one to keep on the shelf.

Thanks for the x-post pilgrim.
Anyone used this pump on a 01 or later Drifter?
they carry one for 2001-2005 drifters as well...different part number but same price....just look on the menu to find one...
Almost worth getting one for a spare at that price...

Did you have to do any modifications? The terminals look totally different......
Often the picture isn't the exact unit, usually just a common picture and the text might say, "your part may look different" or something.
Check with the seller if all connections are exactly the same...
