Author Message   Slickster Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 12:05 am:        BadWeB Team I am understanding that there is no fuel filter or fuel screen to service. Is this correct. If so where does the debris get taken out before the fuel injection system? Thanks Wayne   Destroy Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 08:57 am:        Good question, I'd like to know this also. Anyone?   Blasterd Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 09:31 am:        I've been wondering the same thing.   Beachbuell Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 11:35 am:        The fuel filter is a in line, canister type. It is located in the frame and is connected to the fuel pump system on XB models.   Slickster Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 11:46 am:        Thanks Beachbuell Another question. Is there a service interval on this filter or does the in line filter have sufficient filter capacity to not require change during design life of bike? Thanks Wayne   Beachbuell Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 02:37 pm:        It is a serviceable part. Its part number P0101.02A8, cost is $6.95. As far as service intervals go, I do not have access to any service manuals right now. But, it would not be a very easy part to service. As you would have to get to the fuel pump which is INSIDE the the back, bottom part of the FRAME. Kinda near the rider footrest. Labor intense, I would think. Hope this helps.   Slickster Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 04:48 pm:        Thanks Beachbuell Wayne   Captainxb Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 07:08 am:        No mention of regularly servicing the fuel filter in the Maintenance Schedule. From the tank, the fuel first passes through a screen before it enters the pump. This would eliminate any coarse debris. After the pump and then the pressure regulator, the fuel passes through the filter, then finally up to the injectors. The service manual recommends removing the swingarm to gain access to the fuel pump. Probably to have room to move. Also a special puller is required as the pump housing is sealed in with o-rings. (Some creative mechanics may find an easy solution to this!). Using dirty fuel would eventually clog both the screen and the filter, surely? But with today's fuel sellers, let's hope we won't have to worry about it for a long time! (PS: Could/Should this post be in the Knowledge Vault?)
