neilh Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 as title. for the sake of 2 qwid or whatever they are im thinking of trying one. any downsides to using one? these bikes are a gravity fed fueling system so i dont want to put an unnecessary restriction in the line. if they needed one that bad bikes would come with one as standard perhaps? what say you?

westfield Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ok I'll re-phase that, my 2008 Rev3 had one, my new Evo has one so I presumed they were fitted as standard to all Manufactures bikes and not just to the the best ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 If memory serves me correctly, Modern bikes have a filter screen in the fuel tank at the petcock. My 2000 Sherco also had a filter screen on the inlet to the carb. Both of those have "bigish" holes. But a second in-line filter is not going to hurt anything and will provide more peace of mind.

tony27 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 If you're not running a dellorto carb which has a screen type filter in it then you need an in-line filter, keihin & mikuni carbs don't have an inbuilt filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz229 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I use one on every single bike I've ever had! It's never caused a problem or done any harm and to be honest I can't remember the last time I ever found a pice of summat in the carb bowl!

gottaride68 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 i have the '10 Sherco 290, I am thinking this exact same thing. I picked up a F.F. and i haven't installed it. I will be installing it now, after reading this post. Thanks Riders.... Gotta cut a trial.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 In Line filter is essential,there's no downside to it,fit one I agree. The screen filter on the Dellorto and in the fuel tap keep out birds and small unsupervised children. I would always add a good in-line filter. I've used the small, clear in-line cone shaped filter with the sintered bronze element for many years with excellent results. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilh Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 i havent got round to purchasing and fitting a fuel filter yet. im having enough bother trying to keep it rideable. everytime i fix something, i find another problem. im starting to fall out of love with it. if it keeps up with being the money pit that it has been then it can go fuk itself and ill part ex it for a newer one.
