500R fuel pump

[wymple]

I had my fuel pump go out several years ago on my fuel injected 2010. I bought one off the net from Italy, and it would not pump enough pressure to meet the minimum requirement, which I think is 45 lbs.  So I gave up & paid the bill to have a dealer in Iowa City get one from Kymco. They had zero communication, no idea when it would show up or where it was at. It took about 6 weeks.  I hated that. Does anybody have a reliable source for one?

This is where I usually buy fuel pumps

.amazon.it , they are inexpensive, fit perfectely and work without flaws..

2.7 - 3.0 bar are enough when you test it by using starter motor only, no running or revving..
..with idling motor and bypass tester between 3.0 and 3.5 bar..
Pls see pics....

So I searched for a couple of hours, & I'm not getting results.  I get currently unavailable, does not ship to the United States, or overlapping years that can't be correct.  Some say 2007-2013 or 2014. They are not the same. None of them list the operating pressures.  Do you have a more direct link to one that fits a 2010 and pumps over 3 bars?

Well,  checked up on my source here in Italy, they have it available, though non of them lists operating pressure rate. Easy to check with a manometer.
Fuel pumps same year for XC 250, XC 300 and XC 500 are ident.
Yours is a 2010 and falls into 2009 - 2013 even I didn't see a different one on other year models.

Yeah, that's strange as I see quite a few ads for the XC300. I should be good to go then. Thank you.
