Fuel filter

[zviadi]

Someone has changed fuel filter on 1190RX?
Who is the manufacturer and what the markings on the filter? Whether to remove swingarm to remove fuel pump assembly?

I would guess the fuel filter is internal to the fuel pump like on most other fuel injected bikes.

The fuel filter not require any maintenance

Amazing... And if it becomes clogged? Or is, in principle, be excluded?
All motorcycles its change approximately 20,000 km.

just don't clog it. you know everything you put in there after all.

In the fuel tank over time produces a sludge, fuel on gas stations too may not be sterile.
Eric did an amazing way, making the fuel pump assembly is sealed. Have to replace costly fuel pump assembly instead of a cheap fuel filter.

In any case, at the next maintenance I will try to disassemble fuel pump assembly and replace the filter yourself.

Hmmm, I've put over 100,000 miles on three different sport bikes and nearly that much on two others. Never have I had to change a fuel filter. Never any indication of low fuel pressure.
Just don't put trash in the tank..!
Use a "prefilter" or something "as" the fuel goes into the tank if you feel the need to.

All motorcycles and cars have replaceable fuel filters. This is done for a reason. And in the manuals are written, the interval at which they should be replaced.
I changed fuel filters every 20,000 km on all their bikes, then cut them and saw inside the dirt and sand. And this situation is not just me, and not only in my country.
Why then do manufacturers put fuel filters?

For example, I had a KTM 990 Super Duke. It had TWO (!) replaced fuel filter for raw and fine cleaning, and both of them were to change the rules after 15000 km. And fuel tank on this bike was plastic. This is european motorcycle, is fairly expensive. I doubt that in Europe the poor fuel quality.
