FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-23
DFI Servicing Precautions
Before removing the fuel system parts, blow the outer sur-
faces of these parts clean with compressed air.
When any fuel hose is disconnected, fuel may spout out
by residual pressure in the fuel line. Cover the hose joint
with a piece of clean cloth to prevent fuel spillage.
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.
Route the hoses according to C able, Wire, and Hose
Routing section in the General Information chapter.
To prevent corrosion and deposits in the fuel system, do
not add to fuel any fuel antifreeze chemicals.
Replace the fuel hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.
If the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pres-
sure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak or the hose
[A] to burst. Bend and twist the fuel hose while examining
it.
Replace the hose if any cracks or bulges are noticed.
To maintain the correct fuel/air mixture (F/A), there must
be no inlet air leaks in the DFI system. Be sure to install
the oil filler plug [A] after filling the engine oil.
