Hey TT250 gang.

After the first go-around, I put the TT back on the rack to set up the rear shock and front fork dampening to Mrs. 2LZ liking.

Last night I got home from work and rolled it off the rack for a ride to make sure it wouldn't bottom out with me on it and as I was warming it up, I smelled gas. At first I thought it was a hose connection to the fuel filter so I checked those...and found out it was the filter leaking at the glue seam.

It took virtually zero effort to pop it apart. This was probably just a fluke because I've had bad filters in the past, but I'll let Ryan know that they may have some filter issues afoot.

Keep your eyes open.....

That's the second report of a leaky fuel filter I've seen. The other one was on the CSC Owner's Group on Facebook. Thanks for the heads up!

is that supposed to be a sealed unit (replace it whole) or one with a replacable filter inside?
at least its an easy fix.

It supposed to be a sealed, glued unit. Disposable. I wouldn't doubt if our CA ethanol aerated gas chewed up the glue, even though I just filled it for the first time. It's hell on hoses. I have to put hoses in my weedeaters and chainsaws every couple years.

Fact is, I've had trouble with inline filters most of my life. This is no surprise to me. Just bum luck I guess.

kohburn · 07-01-2016, 10:57 AM

yeah I've noticed even subtle issues with every engine and vehicle since the ethanol shift.

probably replace it with a reusable unit with a stainless mesh strainer.

Perfect. I think I'll jump on that. Thanks!

will have to check where i got em, but i've had good luck with a certain bronze reusable filter for years now.

2LZ · 07-01-2016, 12:20 PM

Ah hell, didn't want to wait. Just ran down to the corner Napa on break and got 6' of good Gates fuel line and a new, stone-type filter. I've not had any problem with those type.

Now after I cut out the foot I need, I get to lose this huge length of fuel line just like the other 85' I have somewhere............

called Progressive. first person said I needed to call back and talk to some techie that could eval the vehicle. Called back and the guy didn't put me to through to tech, but handled it himself.

You mean the admiration and respect of your fellow R&D team members isn't compensation enough?!

Hey, if they do the affiliate program with the TT250 like they do with the RX3, you might get some (monetary) compensation out of it anyway!

Merlin · 07-01-2016, 05:27 PM

So is it still taking 4 months to get one of these after you order one? At that rate I would get it just around the end of the riding season here in Colorado.

We were "the boat people". From what I hear, they're kicking them out quite fast now that they're getting caught up with the initial flood. If you walk in and order, takes about a week for pickup.
Merlin, I'd call them and ask.
