    I want to check my fuel pressure of my 2003 VFR800. I would like to check it both before the FPR and post-FPR.

    Obviously I need a gauge to do this, can anyone recommend one? I was looking at this kit:

    Actron CP7838 Professional Fuel Pressure Tester : Amazon.com : Automotive

    My understanding is that after I buy the fuel test kit, I need to purchase (according to the service manual), a banjo bolt and some sealing washers. And that I can attach the gauge to the fuel tank using the banjo bolt. What about post-FPR, how would I test that?

    Do you all replace the sealing washers each time you loosen the banjo bolt? Are these magical honda parts or can I safely just buy some similar looking sealing washers at Autozone?

    I appreciate any help, I am trying to track down some problems I have been having and I need to see if the fuel pressure is all good. I did check the FPR vacuum line and saw no fuel in there, but I think a better test would be to test actual fuel pressure post-FPR, thoughts?

    Thanks

    Brian

    I wouldn't use any generic washers, but you can usually reuse whacha got a few times.
