fuel filter?
« on: August 10, 2014, 08:09:41 PM »
Isnt there a fuel filter on my DT300i?  It might be staring me right in the face but I`m looking and I dont see one. Also doe anyone know what this tube is thats hanging down behind the airbox? It has a plug on the end, and I`m tempted to pull that plug and see what happens.

The fuel filter on the EFI bikes is actually a mesh screen attached to the bottom of the fuel pump. That clear hose hanging down with the cap is meant to be drained when you see fluid in it. That separates the vented air and oil from the breather on the valve cover. Just drain it into a pop can or something, it's kind of nasty juice so don't smell it.
