2-20 FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Hose
Fuel Hoses and Connections Check
○
Check the fuel hose periodically in accordance with the
Periodic Maintenance Chart, and if the motorcycle is not
properly handled, the inside the fuel line can cause fuel
to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Remove the fuel tank and
check the fuel hose.
Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges
[C] are noticed.
•
Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps
are tightened correctly.
•
When installing, route the hoses according to Cable, Wire
and Hose Routing section in the General Information
chapter.
•
When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-
ing, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a
minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be ob-
structed.
Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.
