Breather Lines
The breather lines are attached to the breather fittings without adhesives, the interference fit is used to
secure them. The breather lines are made from 6mm ID PVC tubing, which may be replaced if
necessary.
Finger Filter
A horizontal finger filter is installed into the tank where the main fuel line is attached. The length of the
finger filter is necessary so that a minimum amount of fuel is left in the tank. The condition of the finger
filter may be visually inspected through the fuel cap hole with an empty tank, this may be assisted by
jacking the back of the trike, and tilting it to the pilots right (See Jacking – Section 7.10.00).
Procedure for finger filter removal
1. Remove the fuel from the tank.
2. Turn the Main Fuel tap to the off position.
3. Remove the fuel hose from the 90 Deg brass fitting that attaches to the finger filter.
4. Unscrew the brass fitting from the aluminium finger filter.
5. Unscrew the finger filter from the tank and remove.
6. Remove any accumulated debris from the filter, and flush the bottom of the tank thoroughly,
you may need to lift the front of the base for this.
7. Check the condition of the filter, replace if damaged.
7.Installation is the reverse of removal. Check hose and fittings, use Loctite 567 on the
connections between the filter and brass fitting, and the two brass fittings. Do not allow excess
to enter the fuel line.
