Fuel Hose and Connection Inspection

○The fuel hoses are designed to be used throughout the motorcycle’s life without any maintenance, however, if the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pressure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System (DFI) chapter) and check the fuel hoses.

Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed.

•Check that the hoses are routed according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked. Hose Joints [A]
