Fuel Line Quick Release
« on: »
Stuffed up the QR fuel line fitting from the underside of the tank. A new one from Yamaha is integral with the short piece of rigid hose... here in OZ $170 and a few months delivery from Japan. So ... I buy some standard QR fittings with hose barbs and fit to some rubber hose. Darn things wont fit ... the male spigot on the tank QR is too long and a standard will not fit.  Anyone been down this path ??? Thx  Steve

**** eh. I (think) recall from old forum that any breakage here was a problem. Gather you mean the spigot from the fuel pump. If its the hose sections maybe have a look online at ebay usa for bits from various models like stratoliner and xv1700 etc.

Hi Graeme  nah its the female QR fitting. Last time off I got a little impatient and they are quite tight. Ended up I've had to file a couple of mms off the length of the spigot to make standard fittings connect. Not such a bad thing since I like to replace fuel fittings often anyway and its cheaper with standard fittings. Love those pics of Philip Is. I'm in Brisbane and we have nothing like that here ... best we can do is the run up to Mt Glorious with eyes wide for police !!  Cheers

Right, so just a bit of filing, good to know. Thanks, the island is fantastic. I am near Omeo  and of course its the best mountain roads all round. But its gotten so you cant hoon around any more, more traffic more cops, so riding the bike to its best at a track makes more sense. At the other end of the scale, we have endless fantastic dirt roads too and I have sold the drz400 and pick up the new wr250f 2021 on monday.
Bloody wet up your way!
