af226 Posted September 24, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2012 Well I had the back wheel off to change out the tire. Noticed the fuel filter hanging out there under the rear fender. Thought to myself, it would be a convenient time to change it out. On my way to the shop to swap tires picked one up at Cdn Tire. Wow what a difference. Fired up the bike and it goes through the hole rpm range now with no stumbling at all. I was thinking it needed diaphrams and such. Been running seafoam and helped a little. Just wanted to pass it on. If your ride is running like SH*t, maybe the $4 fix, not the $100 one needed:) Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted September 24, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2012 I got into the habit of changing the fuel filter everytime I install a new rear tire rather it seems to need it or not. A lot easier to do with the tire off as you have found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted September 25, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2012 About 10,000 miles, for fuel filter, is a pretty good rule of thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstacy Posted September 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2012 Are you using the Yamaha fuel filter or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
af226 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted September 25, 2012 I just picked one up at CDN Tire in the power sports section. As long as its the same size connector for size of fuel line and you get the in/out the proper direction all should be good. Made a big difference.
