In my "Chasing Gremlins" post I described how the local dealer recommended I flush the fuel filter rather than spend the money for a new one (close to $60.00) It was located externally just behind the front tank mount above the cylinder heads.

- February 17, 2013, 16:00:21 PMI haven't had to look yet, but I will be doing about 650 miles in march so if I have any problems I will have to strip some of the bike down..I know some of you have had your bikes for a long time, so I wonder, is there room to fit an aftermarket in line fuel filter..And would it affect the pressure to the injectors..

- February 17, 2013, 13:50:31 PMI've looked through my '99 Drifter owner's manual and cannot find any reference as to when the fuel filter should be changed. I don't think I have a problem with mine, I'm just curious as to when other owners may have done this. If anyone has, how big of a job is it? Do you need any special tools? Thanks in advance for all answers. By the way, my bike has 23,000 miles on it.
