RE: Fuel filter shell change complete
I have come to the conclusion that every 25k miles when you are supposed to replace the fuel filter, you might as well replace the whole kit and kaboodle when you are in there anyway. \\; Might as well check the hoses and replace also just for peace of mind. \\; It's not that expensive.

Hey guys,
New on the forum. \\;\\\\\\; Heard about the fuel canister problems from a salesman. \\;\\\\\\; Did a google and found this site. \\;\\\\\\; Quickly joined up. \\;\\\\\\; Simple question. \\;\\\\\\; Do I need to drain the tank dry to swap out the canister?

My bikes build date is 02/08 and bike seems to be running great with over 4,000 miles on her. So im assuming my bike should have the updated \\;canister. But \\;im going to take it apart maybe this week \\;and check to see if it actaully has the new canister and ill post back my results.

Well i decided to rip mine apart tonite and with a build date of 02/08 i certainly have the updated canister. That may have been obvious with the newer build date but it makes me feel a little better now
