fuel filter
Had a lil down time today..raining here in new york so i figured id service my bike.been reading posts on here bout fuel filter changes at 25k as per harley.i have 21k and planning a long trip so i figured i would changed the plugs and fuel filter.plugs are due at 20k.plugs were ok lil worn as expected the fuel filter was very clean.ive seen some posts that said at 25k they were very dirty.i was surprised how clean my was at 21k.it was pretty easy no special tools.the posts on here helped and i also had the service manual

Never understood why Harleys with an automotive type fuel system required filter changes at 25,000 and my car has NO such scheduled service. It just passed 112,000 on the odometer.
Well I did mine too, '00 FLTRSEI, at 92,000 miles, and it didn't need it either.
At least I re-used the gasket and screws and saved a few bucks. ( Course I don't replace my brake pad pins with every brake pad change either...I'm SUCH a rebel!)

Wondering why some are so "clean" while others are so "dirty". Is it the geographical location of the bikes and the gas they get?

Mine was uniformly black all over. Made me wonder if it was made of a material which is, or turns black as it is exposed to gasoline. I just can't believe it was as dirty as it looked. Most modern cars have a recommended fuel filter change interval if you look closely enough at the manual, usually around 50,000 miles.
