Fuel Filter
« on: 16 November 2022, 10:07:12 am »
Hello Guys.
I have replaced the fuel filter for our bike FZS600 1998-1999
At the aftermarket parts shop they asked me which one is for my bike, as they have a thinner and a wider inlet tube, fuel filter that can fit ( as attached).
I picked up the thinner. Can you guys tell me which one is it?

Not really had to think about it, I just order the one that says it is for these bikes.
Not a part that you want to leak though so you need to get it right.

It might help darrsi. It looks like the thiner one, I guess...
When I swap it, I bought the thiner, but the one installed was the wider... I can´t tell difference on performance or fuel consumption, which is odd... considering the filters have different width...

They only filter the fuel, so the size of the unit itself shouldn't really matter.
You just need to make sure the fuel pipe fits it well and is nice and tight with the clips on.
