V9 fuel filter change
« on: January 19, 2023, 12:02:08 AM »
I need to get a boroscope in the tank, but I suspect that my 17 plate V9 has the pesky plastic/metal filter  so needs replacing

Does anyone know the size of the hose clips needed please

Cheers

I used 3/8” Oetiker clamps from Menards in the plumbing aisle on mine.

My 17 had the pastic/metal filter from the factory.  It was quite bloated but still intact when I pulled it at about 3k.   Fairly straight forward, I watched a video on Youtube of the job being done on a v7, before starting, helped keep me out of trouble.

What's the deal with the plastic metal filter?

OK. So I have questions:

Is this a recall, or no?

If not: What's the replacement part number?

How long to replace?

I was concerned about the fuel filter on my 16 stornello when I had it after reading about it on this forum, never did replace it and had 20,000 miles on it when I traded it, maybe I got lucky ?

I've got a 2007 breva 750 that i went to the trouble of pulling the fuel pump out of the tank to find that it had a metal filter.
question is did it come that way or was it changed.  I bought the bike used so no way of knowing

No - it's a stupid error by Guzzi.

Search GuzziTechs site, they're based in the US and sell a complete kit

While you're there, hunt down the V7 filter change thread/video

There is no way to check if I have either filter. There's metal 3 inches from the fill cap preventing me from seeing anything.

You need a boroscope fella.

Run the tank low and CAREFULLY shove one of these in (https://amzn.eu/d/91egfRR ) for a shufti about

Tried to check mine but can't see diddly squat for the fuel at the moment.

Tris, if you know, no one has changed it since it left the factory, you can be 99.99% certain it’s plastic.

If you're willing to drain and remove the tank you can dismount the plate that holds the fuel pump and filter in the bottom of the tank.  A small inspection mirror will likely let you check the filter.  The misbehaving item is half plastic and half metal.  This method works on the V7III and I'd guess it will work on the V9 as well.

My 2019 V7 had the all metal filter.

Thanks Jack Straw.

Has anyone heard of the filter failure that has left someone stranded?

My bike is still in winter storage and draining the whole tank is not something I'm looking forward to.

Yes, it has happened many, many times over many years.  It's hard to believe but Guzzi had know of this issue for several years and didn't address it.

That being said, I wouldn't be so concerned that I would drain a full tank.   Odd's are very very much in your favor that it is not going to fail in the next 100 miles of use.  Ride the v9 to on a full tank for until you hit 150 miles or so, then pop the tank off, much easier.

Being stranded is a scary thought !

I've got a 2016 V7 , and am planning a 4000 mile two week trip on it  this summer .

How many of those filters have failed ?

My bike is coming up on 30,000 miles  on it now and before spring Its getting an oil change , valves checked , and now checking the fuel filter .

How does the tank come off ?   :huh:

Hey bad Chad, you don't know my luck.  :grin:

Taking off the tank seems to be the hard part to me. Draining, etc.

Sounds like you need a buddy with a bit more wrenching prowess than you possess, or find decent mechanical type and pay for the piece of mind?

I have plenty of mechanical experience. I fix scientific equipment Mon-Fri for a company called Waters and work in bicycle shop on Saturdays.

What I don't have is motorcycle mechanical experience.

Get a long piece of fuel line and a 5 gallon can. Use a old empty squeeze bottle with a cone shaped end. Stick the 1/2 squeezed bottle in the hose and release pressure an it will start to siphon the gas out. The rest is covered in the video. Except the swearing you will do!

Yup,
Been riding my 2017 Bobber now for too long without doing the change. Ordered the part from GuzziTech today. Will do the job this spring. Too darn cold to work out in the garage now.

Question for anyone who has done the change out. Is there is a gasket or o-ring need for the fuel filter assembly base plate? I have looked at the parts lists and dont see one listed. What is used to seal this item?

..... and if you're told that the UFI is a straight swap look at this





It's about 8mm fatter than the metal part on the old filter.

I guess it will fit, but it isn't going to help shoving it all back in.

I'll find a genuine one
