Westbeef Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can anyone recommend me an in-line fuel filter please? Having looked at this guys blog below, he recommends about 40-50mm overall length, I'm also trying to find a fully metal one and I'm struggling.https://cbf125rider.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/in-line-fuel-filter/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Can anyone recommend me anything please? I've seen for a few for £1-£2 but I'm worried they wont be doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why are you trying to fit one to a CBF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbeef Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why are you trying to fit one to a CBF? Because a common issue appears to be people getting a clogged fuel system. I want to avoid this and for the sake of a few quid it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That hasn't happened to the one in my garage in 19,000 miles of use as far as I can tell. And it shouldn't happen to yours either with the fuel quality as it is in the U.K.If you use the bike regularly I can't see it happening to you, especially if you treat it to some STP fuel cleaner every now and again to dislodge carbon build up in the engine.

Westbeef Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Fair enough but for the sake of a few quid I don't really mind, if it was a big expensive job I'd think twice but for a 10 minute job I'm happy to stick one in. I'm also skeptical how much the fuel cleaners actually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I use redex (just onnnnnnnneeeee shot) every fill up and it appears to have fixed my backfire issue so must be doing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 While you're there, make extra certain that you're putting the right oil in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Have a look here. If you do get one check the hose size.http://www.wemoto.com/components/filters/fuelfilters/page1_10/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Or drop a PM.I recently had the engine out and dismantled down to the gearbox to inspect for wear. The top end was toast from overheating, the crank survived as it had the best oil flow, but the clutch basket damper springs seem to have failed as the entire clutch rattles when the engine is warm. Just waiting on the last few bits to finish it and give it a test.And yeah... Oil. It only needs a litre, don't cut costs with cheap car oil. Halfords 10W40 part synthetic oil is good and cheap.
