XT600E Fuel filter
 

Hey guys!

I'm looking forward to getting a small(in length) 6mm fuel filter to fit on my 1990 XT600E..

I need a small one because there just isn't enough space to fit a larger one..

I'm looking at these right now:

Motorcycle Scooter Quad White square Fuel Filter 6mm | eBay

Does anyone have any experience with these?
Will it constrict the fuel flow to my carb?

Heya Vando...

I've had simular ones once. I dont use 'em anymore as theres not much room with my plstic gastank 'cause of the T-connection to the carb. (2 fueltabs)

Mine worked fine, although I do seem to remember that one of them started leaking a very smal amount in the joint where the filter is put (permanently) together.

I could smell gas when i shut the bike of, but no puddles or anything. One day i followed the gasline and saw a very small drop of gas on the filter.

It was a cheap filter, so no biggie, ueh and yes, just about any filter wil flow enough gas, just do the math.

Lets say you go 150km/h for one hour, and use about 10 liters of gas. (15km/ltr) Thats one liter gas every 15 kilometers. You take about 20 seconds to ride a kilometer at that speed. That gives us one liter of fuel, in 5 minutes. Or 0,2liter/2dl every minute. Peanuts! :scooter:

Its late, but the math should be alright.

In short: Yeah the filter will flow well enough for ya. :D

It's impossible to go at 150km/h for 2 minutes over here much less 1 hour lool

Just bought two of those.
I'll see how it behaves... also, I ALWAYS close the fuel tap about 100meters from parking :thumbup1:
