My bike started making a "buzzing" noise, sounds like it is coming from the or behind the radiator as you hear it even through the helmet. I have taken it to a Suzuki approved dealer and they say it's the fuel pump. Also it needs to be replaced but the cost of the part is about R9500 without labour.

Question: Can I leave this as it is, or is there something else I can do? Would it cause more damage to the bike if I keep on riding! Also I do far distances or some offroad trips, would I need to replace this before the next trip?

Any feedback would help!
