fuel pump and filter Resurrection of 2004 Ballabio

[LangleyMalc]

I have finally got Collector Status on my Balabio which gives me cheap(er) tax here in BC. So it is going back on the road after about 4 years of standing. Right now I am planning a fluids flush plus replacing the fuel filter and in tank hose. The tank is off and I am emptying out the old fuel/mush and cleaning that out and will do the brakes and clutch. 
what else am I missing?  Tyres are new/5 yrs old. Brake pads are good. 
also any suggestions on the in tank portion of this challenge gratefully received. I got past the dreaded QDF connectors to get the tank off, but the tank breather hose underneath is a bit tired so will replace that. Not sure on pump gasket but will find out shortly but does anyone do a complete kit for the pump hose, gasket and in tank filter?
Thanks.

Have a good look at all the rubber bits under the tank whilst it is off. That is, of course, a good idea for any bike that is a bit older and has been standing for a couple of years.

On the V11, a particularly close look at the breather hose that goes from under the frame up near the steering head down to the back end of the motor is to be recommended.

Is she getting a new battery, @LangleyMalc?

A careful application of Caig DeOxit® to the connectors and connections while the tank is off is good medicine. Just don;t get it on the AMP connector seals (remove them for the application, wipe out the recesses and replace dry).

A good time to clean and service the main ground connection behind the seat latch and service the connections to the starter motor/solenoid.

What's under the seat for relays?

Thanks Guys,

a big help; particularly the tank off check list at the end. 
anyone replaced the internal filter?

Glad to see this topic. Looking forward to following the progress and sharing the joy of the outcome!

Bullet conectors from stator, make sure they have good connection, or even better make a solid connection. Go thru every connection with TLC.

Cheers Tom.

"Might" consider coating the tank to preserve the graphics. Unless they are already bubbled.

PLEASE run straight gasoline (no E-15 or anything like that ! Pricey , yes . Troubles , no. If you do this you may not have to coat the interior of the tank . While you have the tank off , remove  everything so the tank can breathe  and get all of the vapors out and get back into it's original shape . I assume your bike has an in-tank pump ?
