Ok guess I am stupid But I haven't seen anything like this on my 99 XLH or my o3 FXDL What am I missing here? Outside of the tank crossover hose and the one to the fuel valve I don't see any others

 

Your missing fuel injection.

 

Nothing to add here - just making a post so I can find it in a few weeks...

 

OK something else to go wrong Kind of glad I don't have FI

 

Just want to bump this to the top, I'll need this info later this week.

 

How do you know when it needs replacing?

 

Tag, some good info here.

 

I just found a bad line in my tank...Hopefully it's the root of my cold start problems.

Take the dash off your tank underneith there's 12 torx bolts holding a plate to the tank. Remove those twelve bolts stand back and hit the run switch. If fuel blows in the tank you have a leak. My leak is right where the fuel hose rubs against the steel tube the fuel guage wires run through. The fuel line could be 1" shorter and still work and not rub on anything. I'm gonna order some of that gates fuel line tonight.

 

This is a old thread, but how many miles on your bike when this happened?
I had mine apart swapping to a different tank I had painted, no signs of rubbing on hoses. I was over 23k miles when I had it apart. I have read of others having the problem of pin holes and running issues but not a very large number having it happen.

 

I'm only at 12,200, But I think this problem started 1 or 2 thousand miles ago.
