I think Yamaha have attempted to guard the Tenere pump by making as sure as they can be that we refuel before the pump is exposed to risk.

Not a problem in cool places, but a real issue when in city traffic situations and slow running in hot countries.

Well, that's what I reckon, anyway...
First I've heard of a possible fuel pump over-heating when running the fuel load right down?
I took 306 miles out of mine the other day!
