Nice simple looking job Asif .. well documented.

If it's not too much trouble, can you post the gist of that service procedure.  Thanks.  I have an 08 so it's not in my service manual.

Mines probably due a change too then.

•Turn the key knob to OFF.
•Wait until the engine cools down.
•Prepare a fuel hose and a measuring cylinder.

•Remove the fuel tank bolts (see Fuel Tank Removal).
•Open the fuel tank cap to lower the pressure in the tank
•Remove the fuel hose from the fuel pump (see Fuel Tank Removal).
○Be sure to place a piece of cloth around the fuel outlet pipe of the fuel pump.
•Connect the prepared fuel hose to the fuel outlet pipe.
•Secure the fuel hose with a clamp.
•Insert the fuel hose into the measuring cylinder
•Close the fuel tank cap.
•Turn the engine stop switch to run position.
•Push and turn the key knob to ON.
○The fuel pump should operate for 3 seconds, and then
should stop.
•Measure the discharge for 3 seconds.
○Repeat this operation several times.
Amount of Fuel Flow Standard: 67 mL (2.3 US oz.) or more for 3 seconds
•Turn the key knob to OFF.
If the fuel flow is much less than the specified, replace the fuel pump (see Fuel Pump Removal/Installation).
•Install the fuel tank (see Fuel Tank Installation).
•Start the engine and check for fuel leakage.

Excellent!  Thanks.

The two outlets at the rear of the tank - there's a risk of fuel leaking if the tank hasn't been drained fully. I suggest blocking these before raising the tank to disconnect the pipe from the pump

Had the first proper run of the bike today. Much more responsive and the roughness is all gone.

Did you find any crap in the old filter then Asif?

I just chucked it away. In hindsight I should have disected it

With reference to this pic



Its probably best to block the pipes from the tank as fuel could leak when manipulating the tank (all depends on how much of the fuel is drained from the tank)
