Default 25K mi service

I have a manual and have done previous services, just asking if there's anything special I need to watch for when I hit 25,000 mark in a couple of weeks


thanks all

Its not so much a filter as it is a pick up screen. I aint to sure what the called for interval for changing it is (and yes IIRC you change it as opposed to cleaning it). You get access from the fuel gauge on the tank I believe on your model. Just follow the instructions in the factory service manual......and be VERY VERY careful removing the hoses.

The MOCO uses the crimp type clamps and they cannot be reused. If you decide to use the same type of clamp you can, but you will need the correct type of pliers to crimp them tight again. Also take care with the electric connections.....just about everything on the fuel pump/filter is fragile, so just take it slow and easy, and be sure to follow the manual both to take it out and to reinstall it.

Also if you do a search here on this forum you will find some pics I posted of the procedure. It can be found in a back issue of American Iron mag. If you need it, I can find the issue and scan then post it here.

Wish someone would fix this site!
The PN for the filter kit is 61001-01(hose,filter,clamp).
There is also a second hose in the tank which needs to be inspected.This hose(PN 62228-03)&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;rubs on the hump in the tank and can wear thru.
You will also need a top gasket PN 61402-02 and the 10 screws,PN 1311D.
&nbsp\\;
Double check the part&nbsp\\;numbers .

Yup,&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;especially when&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;you do something for the first time.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'll bet its twice as easy next time (50K).&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;Mine calls for fuel filter and steering head bearings at 25K.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; I'm sure that will be an adventure.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Everything else looks the same.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Good luck.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; I'll be there next month.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;I'll need brakes then too...
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
BTW, this site still rocks, even when crippled.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; The fantastic free advice and insight still comes through.
