Just wanted to say thank you! You're the only channel I found that mentions the 2 inner fuel tank lines that feed to and from fuel filter. Everyone just skips that! I replaced the quick connect fuel valve (bottom outside tank) along with the tank screen and filter and didn't want to put those two lines back on in reverse. Fuel filter doesn't say in/out and I didn't notice they were different sizes until after you said it. Then It was obvious when looking at the white inner tubes. Started first try, bike is now repaired without any fuel leaks. You gained a new subscriber. Thanks again. 👊👏😁
Thank you for your nice and practical video. You help a lot of people to trust themselves in their capabilities to wrench. All the best for you and your team. 🙏🏻 Bruno
Hmm ya don’t havta go through all that! Just get housing up high enough to remove the clip and replace it.. don’t havta remove the hoses 🤷🏻♂️ I’ve changed a few this way
Just curious. I changed my fuel filter (totally agree about 50k or so you should do this especially if you ride in places where the fuel is not the best), I did not remove any of the lines inside the tank. Basically I took the fuel filter housing apart while the lines and that electrical harness were still connected, changed the old filter and o-ring out then reassembled and put it all back in the tank. My question, what would be the issues or potential issues associated with doing it how I did versus how you are showing here? Thanks in advance for your response and keep up the great work!! Love everything y’all do.
Was wondering the same thing and thought maybe they did it just to be able to show a better video of replacing the filter didn't know if it was necessary to completely remove from the tank.
Great video I’ve a 2014, 103 classic, I only have a black connection on the ECM which I disconnected, then had no power, can’t find the grey connection, do you have to purge the system to replace the fuel system?
Great video, you guys make it look so easy !!! I was told by HD to replace the "Top Plate Gasket" ( 61402-08) on my 2008 FLHTCU. Do you have a video to replace the tank fuel line with check valve (62228-08)?
All this time I always wondered if HD had a filter in the fuel line and never gave it a second thought. I have a '17 Road King but has less than 13k miles and even though my fuel filler cap is off to the side of the tank, I still have a speedometer dash panel that removes the same way as the Street/Road Glide and should be pretty easy.

Just changed my filter after watching this video, took about 30 minutes. Took off dash, unhooked hoses and electrical connection, took off lock ring, changed out filter, installation is reverse of removal.
This is the longest way to do it and most time consuming. Just pull it up high enough to open the filter housing , replace the filter and put it back together.
Hey I've got a 97 fat boy. And I'm having issues with the liner inside the tank coming out coming out. How can I clean the inside of that tank out of all of that sealant?
Back before I had my left shoulder replaced and could still ride H-D’S I changed these fuel filters every 30k because of the crappy fuel quality. Factory telling us they don’t need service until 100k is absolutely a load of crap.
Hi, are you saying that you no longer ride due to your shoulder replacement? I also need a left shoulder replacement. I have two Harleys 93 FXRS-CONV and a 2010 FLHTC.. My left hand gets numb after riding for a while. If I can't ride after shoulder replacement, then I will give serious thought about getting it. I will tolerate the numbness in my left hand. Ryan's videos are well done, informative, and brutally. honest. It's like attending night school.
How can I purge the system if the bike won’t start? It runs on starting fluid but will not start without it. It will not stay running with out it as well. I can hear the fuel pump running but the bike won’t start. Im trying to figure out whats wrong with it. Ran fine when I parked it we t out 2 days later and it wouldn’t start. I put gas in it about 10 miles from my home on the last ride. May have bad gas.
You don't actually need to disconnect the fuel lines or wires etc you can pull the horse shoe clip change the filter and then just re close the housing and refit the horse shoe clip and done!
Update: It is actually my Clymers service manual that recommends changing out at 25K. Harley owners manual says 100K, which seems crazy to me! Nice...I am planning on doing this vid on my TwinCam FLTRX when I hit 25K, which is what Harley recommends for my bike. I went ahead and got the lock ring tool because it was cheap.
interesting video. I am interested in going to a Harley from a dual sport. Got 1 question. I ride all the time and my bike is left outside while at work. Rain or shine. How well will Harleys do being left out all the time like that?
Hey brother, great question. I wanted to respond because I ride everyday, rain or shine here in Florida on a Harley police Road King 2018 Milwaukee 8, 107 engine. I've had it for a little over 3 years, almost 4 and it's sat in the rain while I work my 12 hour shifts. I'm coming up on 60,000 miles. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Because of the humidity, I have to flush the hydraulic clutch every year but other then that, doing the regular scheduled maintenance has it running great. The first year I had it, I sprang for the extended warranties and pre paid maintenance and have had to use the warranty only on the first year for the transmission and clutch assembly. I bought it with 15, 000 miles on it & because it was a police fleet vehicle, it got really beat up from being in service. I have got to say over the years it's been solid and it handles great. I practice motojitsu on it as well as Jerry Pallidino's exercises. I can see myself putting well over 100,000 or 200,000 miles on it.
That's alot of work to just change a fuel filter. No wonder none of us think of doing it. Definitely important but, wow, that's a whole lotta stuff in that tank. Well presented though, thank you.
After all these years, wouldn’t it be amazing if HD would just install an external filter? Just another example of some of the ridiculous engineering they do.
🤨 all you have to do is take the retainer clip off the filter housing and pull the housing off and put it back together with a new filter and seal… seems like a lot of needless work
Thank you so much! I followed this procedure and got my Limited back on the road. Quick and easy fix. 47,000 miles until failure on my 103ho.

Dude that was my thought exactly, why do I have to do all this extra if I can just get to the filter.

I think your way is fine too!

Because there very good one these videos of showing everything 💯👍

Thank you for this great video. It’s the best one I’ve watched for replacing the filter…👍

Hey guys, great video. Will the procedure be the same on my 07 Softail Custom. If not do you have a video covering my girl?
Will did help if it sounds like the air filter is spitting?
Does the fuel system re pressurize on its own after you start the bike or does something else need done to pressurize the fuel system again?
Outstanding vivd, keeper comin👍
Thanks, will do!

Waiting on my fuel filter kit to arrive
Nice video! Picked up a fuel filter at my local HD dealer and gonna do this tomorrow. What seat is Fuente rockin' ?
It's a Danny Gray seat. Here is a link to it: bit.ly/3vyrZwl
This is the longest way to do it and most time consuming. Just pull it up high enough to open the filter housing , replace the filter and put it back together.
Is this procedure the same for an 07 Road King?
Hey I've got a 97 fat boy. And I'm having issues with the liner inside the tank coming out coming out. How can I clean the inside of that tank out of all of that sealant?

Does this apply to a 07 Electra glide??

It's like attending night school.
you have something sticking out on the front of the seat when he is putting the thumb bolt on the back of the seat. nice video thanks
Thanks for watching.
Great video!
Thanks!

Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Bug slide is great. (I got mine from you guys) but your going to need something a bit stronger to clean that bike. LOL
interesting video. I am interested in going to a Harley from a dual sport. Got 1 question. I ride all the time and my bike is left outside while at work. Rain or shine. How well will Harleys do being left out all the time like that?

They do just fine. No problems.
What lift are you using?
We sell them ==> shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/lifts
Good video but, what about replacing the fuel regulator as well? It was right there next to the filter. 🤪
That's alot of work to just change a fuel filter. No wonder none of us think of doing it. Definitely important but, wow, that's a whole lotta stuff in that tank.
Well presented though, thank you.
Harley wants to do it.
Can BugSlide be used on Denim paint?
You don't have to do half those steps. The lines don't need to come off. You just lift the filter housing off and pull filter....
👍👍
So…what bikes is this for???
it does matter which way the filter goes in
After all these years, wouldn’t it be amazing if HD would just install an external filter? Just another example of some of the ridiculous engineering they do.
Future video's you might restrain yourself from the use of the words "here" and "there". OMG!!
Nobody is doing that. Take it in and spend $100 that looka like total headache
Save your money. Plus have the satisfaction of wrenching on your motorcycle!! Easy DIY project. Ride safe and thanks for watching!
If you can't wrench on your own Hog, Why you ridin? Just sayin. Don' t be Scared! Handle that Shit.👊
I did it their way and it worked perfect
It’s more than $100 just to sign the check in sheet in the service Dept. You’d pay at least $400 for HD service to do this.
🤨 all you have to do is take the retainer clip off the filter housing and pull the housing off and put it back together with a new filter and seal… seems like a lot of needless work
Does this apply to a 2006 Street glide.
yup
