Ed, I am at 75,000. Also not sure it is mileage related as much as age soaked in gas. Plastic is pretty briddle. Guess if you soak plastic in gas for 10 years is would get that way?     I would strongly recommend changing your in your 09

Was thinking of the '05 also... 'Guess I'll find an online retailer and buy the parts for both bikes??

Ed, look the parts up to verify but your 05 may have a different housing. Don't have the exact part number with me but if I remember right it was an 08A part in the book and was revised to an 08B

2005 is an entirely different assembly.

'Figured the '05 & '09 were different...

With the age / miles maybe I should PM both

'Have all the Manuals,,, Ronnie's Parts Finder is a wonderful thing

2002-2007 all the same.  Only common service items in them are the filter.  I change mine every 25k.  Had one plug up on me once at just over 30k and that shortened my service schedule.

Inside those tanks it's also more common than it should be to get pinholes in the pressure lines.  Listen close for that.  Any hint of a problem (or just because you're in there) change the line while changing the filter.  The filter kit will come with one line.  Here we're talking about the "other" pressure line that goes down to the tank fitting.

Only other item to pay much attention to inside the 02-07 tanks is the fuel regulator.  They give problem very rarely though.

Thanks for the info Don

Are there any symptoms leading up to these failures (rough running? power loss? miss? etc...) or does the bike just quit and not start/restart??

Ed I really had no warning. Pulling into the parking lot at work and bike was acting like it was running out of fuel, then didn't restart

All the above for symptoms.  It's fuel starvation and behaves accordingly.  They'll usually start with tell tales of cutting out under power and what you can think is a miss under load until it gets to the point (if you let it get that far) that it runs so bad (or not at all) you just can't ride it.
