2-8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Fuel System (DFI)
Fuel Hose and Connection Inspection
○
The fuel hoses are designed to be used throughout the
motorcycle’s life without any maintenance, however, if the
motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pressure in-
side the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose
to burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System (DFI)
chapter) and check the fuel hose.
Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges
[C] are noticed.
•
Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps
are tightened correctly.
•
When installing, route the hoses according to Cable,
Wire, and Hose Routing section in the General Informa-
tion chapter.
•
When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-
ing, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a
minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be ob-
structed.
Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.
•
Install the hose clamps in the position shown, and se-
curely tighten the clamp screws to the specified torque.
Check the fuel system for leaks after hose installation.
