I had a starting issue with my 2012 WR450 similar to this one. For anyone watching this and want to save $400 by not buying a oem Yamaha fuel pump. He shows at 4:44 that the fuel pressure regulator is spewing gas. This regulator should do this when the pump is over pressurizing the system. Therefore it should not have any fuel coming out on primming. You can buy aftermarket fuel pressure regulators for around $40. That is what I did and my issue is fixed. This will not fix a bad pump but will save you from dumping a ton of money in a fuel pump you may not need. I AM NOT A MECHANIC.
@drott150

@Cannavis Is the aftermarket regulator integrated into the pump body? Which can be unbolted from the pump body and replaced? Or did you have to install a generic inline regulator (similar to a fuel filter on a carb bike) and stuff it somewhere under the frame and plastics? Also, I assume it's a Chinese knockoff regulator...how long will that really last?

Anytime open liquid gasoline is being spilled and literally sprayed like that and electrical switches and motors are being switched on and off? The bike should be outside well away from the house. And at a very minimum a garden hose with a sprayer nozzle should be right there by your side with the water pressure on. And preferably with a CO2 extinguisher present to help put it out quickly without using water which is less effective at dousing gas fires (especially after the plastic tank melts and dumps however much you have in it, which should be the bare minimum amount needed). And if you think internet safety nazis are annoying, I agree stupid ones are. But in this specific scenario, I'm telling you he's putting himself and his place in grave danger.
