That's a good point ... if the inline fuel filter is wrong way round fuel will not be passing through.
The Tiny, white plastic filter inside the metal fuel inlet pipe can clog, so YES,
use a razor or sharp knife to catch it's edge and remove it. Or not.
(I leave my little white filter in but do check it once in a while)
Only other thing that might be blocking fuel is a clogged petcock.
You can undo the two bolts holding it in place and remove it.
(DRAIN FUEL BEFORE YOU DO THIS  ) Some times on a new tank crap can be inside blocking fuel flow ... but not common.
Your hose routing is GOOD and I like the turned metal inlet fuel pipe. Good move on that! You should be able to use ALL the fuel in the tank ... so I'm surprised it's not running now ... hopefully it's just fuel filter put in wrong way.
Good luck! Let us know how you like the bike! Your range should be AWESOME with the big tank!
