Mark Koontz Posted June 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2009 Can someone tell me where the fuel fitler is supposed to be? I don't see one on my '83. Thanks, Mark Koontz (Wichita, KS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6m459 Posted June 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Remove the LHS luggage. Near the forward end of the frame member that the luggage braket hooks onto is a cylindrical device with rubber hoses coming from it. That device is the fuel pump. Follow the hose that exits the aft end of the pump, I think it curves around and heads back behind the fuel pump. Inline with that hose is a little white plastic cannister thing about an inch in diameter if memory serves. That is your fuel filter. I changed mine when my fuel pump died. Got the Yamaha one but surprisingly it was only a few bucks. Hope this helps, Brian H. Edited June 4, 2009 by 6m459 spelling correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocking Posted June 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2009 That's exactly where the fuel filter is... A real pain to get at . Best time to change that is when you have the rear wheel off.. I change mine everytime I change my rear tire... Cheap price to pay for getting caught plugged on the side of the road. I've never changed mine without taking the rear off...

skydoc_17 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2009 Hey Mark, Here are some pics of the fuel filter replacement. It is way easier to pull the fuel pump to get to the filter. Hope this helps, Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
