There is no maint interval in the shop manual for fuel filter replacement. Has anyone replaced theirs? Any pointers? I've got over 31K miles on the bike and the maint schedule only goes to 30K miles and does not mention it. Most cars are good untill 60K. Maybe the Uly is good till then. (but why isn't it mentioned in the schedule?) It looks like a hassle, pulling the fuel pump with a special puller, draining the tank, ect,ect. Any advise? Thanks. | ||

We do have a fuel filter. It is in the fuel pump. You will need a service manual to get into that. It is not a part of regular maintenance. I won't be changing mine unless there is a specific need to go there. Run the best premium gas you can find and don't loose your gas cap.  | ||

Debueller Posted on Monday There is no maint interval in the shop manual for fuel filter replacement. Has anyone replaced theirs? Any pointers? No I have not and it's likely I never will... I suspect the service interval on the Buell fuel filter is like modern automobiles. That is, until the fuel pressure drops enough to cause a running problem, its good to go. The only other reason to replace it would be if you got some severely contaminated gas, I.E. massive amounts of particulate debris and/or water. Which would likely drop the fuel pressure below minimum specification, and cause a running problem. (Message edited by teeps on October 24, 2006) |
