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 hoses.
Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C]
are noticed.
Check that the hoses are routed according to Cable, Wire,
and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter.
Replace the hose i f it has been sharply bent or kinked.
