One cannot purchase that screen by itself- one needs to purchase 81207090100 filter kit which sells, with the discount, for $50.24 and includes the Mahle plastic filter and the screen. I've been using the Mahle KL97 from eBay providers at $6.24 each. Maybe a good blast of Berryman's B12 Chemtool when I change the filter next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 206 Posted July 14, 2018 Dang, that's a lot of work for a fuel filter. I just picked up a 2014 500 EXC so have't had the pleasure of doing this yet. It seems like lining the fuel pump with the holes in the bottom of the tank could be a PIA when reinstalling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But knowing the previous owner owner of your bike, who can guess? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amgems 79 Posted July 15, 2018 I made a fuel pressure tester using a Harbor Freight gauge, some fuel injection hose, and some cheap ebay quick disconnects. Whole thing was maybe $50. Just plug it inline and start the bike. There is a trick to get the fittings into the holes in the tank. Tie a piece of thin safety wire onto the fitting and fish it thru the hole and then pull the fitting right into the hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First, great to know this is a club asset ; ) Yes, the first time I installed a pump/filter system in a tank, I used the safety wire method- worked great. The subsequent 10 times I've done it (I have three complete tanks now) I've not- and it was faster and easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
