Shay's grammar is already better...

Shay's Grammer is sic?  Hope she feels better soon.

Nope.    Too much other stuff to do to be bothered.   It seemed plenty solid.    I did try to pull the two haves apart by hand, didn't come apart.   I'm sure it would've been fine for many more years.

You suck, that was 10 minutes for a data point.

You still have it? Go put it in fuel and leave it there for a few weeks then do it!

That said, I think you have the start of a data point - you did try to separate it and it didn't come apart which is good. But still, I'd want to see it hold at least 50 psi.

BTW - Between the Stone wheels and Record Fairing - wow, that really is a unique Racer. Love it.

Maybe not an accurate data point.  What if he has the strength of a 10 year old girl?

Actually he does, and I thought about that when posting it.... 


But I do honestly think this filter thing has been blown way out of proportion.

At least we have one other data point that said his filter took something like 97 psi without failing (more than double, maybe close to triple what typical EFI systems produce).

Nope, it got pitched with last weeks trash pickup.

I do as well.     I'd have to compare the used one to a new one to say if it was really a lot softer.   I pushed a screwdriver into the side of it pretty hard (for a ten year old girl) without puncturing it, as, it certainly wasn't anywhere near as fragile as I was lead to believe in other threads.

I didn't even have my helmet off before a crowd gathered around it at yesterday's breakfast gathering (and that wasn't even the Guzzi people that were there).

Pretty little Guzzi!👍
