How To Change Your Fuel Filter : CRF450L Edition

[@seanbriscoe2496]

Excellent video on this! I'm in process of picking up a 450RL and you have been my "Go to guy" for mods!

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks Sean.

[@robertcrawford1024]

Thanks again for another tutorial. When I swapped over to an IMS tank. I had an issue with my fuel pump I've had to replace it already. So be extra careful

[@JohnTYoung]

Oh no. What happened? The pump itself is pretty robust.

[@johnvlipani]

This was great. Thank you. I knew I needed to change but said I would wait til JTY shows me how. Lol. Great videos. Your the 450l guru

[@JohnTYoung]

Oh man! Don't wait for me, just dive right in there.

[@rtrottier14]

Great video as always. Waiting for your Rebel yell! The new workspace looks allot more sano than the previous one.

[@JohnTYoung]

Family biz has me doing other projects for a bit. This video was made during "The Quiet Time". I'll get back to work as soon as I can. Thanks for dropping by and I can't wait to see YOUR next video.

@@JohnTYoung thanks John. I live in a small town without a true welding supply shop. Sooo when you don’t plan and run out of Argon and it takes a week to get more, it really sucks! Got it today, tomorrow is practicing the joints. Hopefully be able to move on by the middle of next week. And I have customer bikes to finish too. Is that enough lame excuses or should I do more?

[@JohnTYoung]

@@rtrottier14 MORE!

[@rtrottier14]

@@JohnTYoung ummmmm had a hang nail, full moon, my mech eng corses became so riveting I could tear myself away. Think that about it. For now. I can probably come up with more.

[@Spiros.2S]

JTY you should be payed by Honda....and the others producers that you present to us in a really successful way. Thank you very much 😊😊😊😊😊

[@JohnTYoung]

Wow, thank you!

[@robertcrawford1024]

Nice to see a little workshop for projects

[@JohnTYoung]

Ya! Less dirty and road noise now.

[@scottprice5966]

Just picked up a 450L and your videos are saving my #@&$....as im doing a ton of maintenance and upgrades

[@JohnTYoung]

Awesome!

[@bva8252]

after watching, I think I will try to double your mileage between fuel filter changes. what a royal pita.

[@JohnTYoung]

Ya, other than that initial change it seems excessive

[@bobsmyth6706]

Good one John. Happy New Year

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks Bob! And to you too. Yay 2021!

[@southjerseytrailriding4155]

I appreciate your detailed videos, thank you ✌🏼

[@JohnTYoung]

And I appreciate your comments. Thank you!!

[@scottmiller4516]

Lets rotate the air in the tires next..lol J/K. Very helpful John!

[@JohnTYoung]

And change the valve stem filters while we're at it. Now you're getting the idea!

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

Maybe next time could you go over how to change the blinker fluid?

[@JohnTYoung]

If you run synthetic you should almost never have to change it. Just top it off now and then.

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

@@JohnTYoung LOL! Thanks for the good videos and humor. When it comes time to change my fuel filter in the 450l I now know how to not break it. 👍🏻

[@richardgatto7630]

Thank JT. Great video

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks Richard

[@tennyis28]

Great video, will come in handy in the future when I have to change mine

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks. I hope I made life a little easier.

[@christianbrown7711]

Awesome John thanks! I changed mine at the recommended 1800 miles and now that seems like a waste 🤣 it still looked brand new! oh well

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks, Christian. Mine seemed to work fine even after all those miles, too.

[@Rideskishore]

Super helpful vid as always John. Thx

[@JohnTYoung]

You bet!

[@ramiretz]

Thank you for this detailed Video again :-) so the conclusion is it wasn't even really necessary to change the filter at this high mileage

[@JohnTYoung]

Not for mine, but someone else living somewhere else may have to change theirs way more often.

[@MrBenfru]

Thanks John, an other great instructional Video (chopstick rate 10)👌

[@JohnTYoung]

Thank YOU bf.

[@vanman724]

Excellent instructional as usual John. When you get to 20K mi, are you going to do the engine tear-down yourself?

[@JohnTYoung]

Probably. I’ve done other multi cylinder bikes so this ought to be easy. 😬

[@DSLRvideonow]

@@JohnTYoung can't wait. This will be good. Maybe time to install 19HP cam?

[@JohnTYoung]

@@DSLRvideonow You'd be halfway there for sure.

[@passinthru4328]

Good stuff, thanks!

[@JohnTYoung]

Thank you!

[@rassavage1570]

Thanks John

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks for watching Ras

[@TomDecherd]

Really like your channel. Did you ever figure out the reason for high levels of fuel in the oil?

[@JohnTYoung]

I have not. Seems to be a common theme, however. Thanks for watching and joining the conversation.

[@achivement-hunter]

Yeah, that white wire definitely pulled right out pulled out of the connection

[@JohnTYoung]

Hopefully it popped right back in.

[@DSLRvideonow]

Yo JTY where did you get your fuel filter? Having a hard time finding one at the usual online stores... not a huge fan of ebay but there are a bunch there... thanks sir...

[@JohnTYoung]

Partzilla, as I recall.

[@JanEgeriis]

You didn't change any O-rings? I bought the expensive Honda 06160-MKE-A00 kit and it includes 2 small O-rings and the rubber boot for the pump and the large O-ring on the outside and the strange looking ring on the outside. Did you find a cheap way to get the filter without the rubber stuff? again - thanks for the video. 👍

[@JohnTYoung]

I just went ahead and changed everything out I think. It's not like I'm going to be going back in there of the next years or so.

[@JanEgeriis]

Also my thought. Not doing it again for a long time. 😂

[@menopillion9853]

How to Change the Valve Stem Cores: "First let's get the tank off." Because most maintenance tasks with this model seem to require removal of the tank.

[@JohnTYoung]

True story

[@menopillion9853]

@@JohnTYoung If it makes you feel any better, the external fuel filter on my BMW F650GS Dakar costs around $280.00. No joke.

[@JohnTYoung]

@@menopillion9853 I doesn't me feel better, but I do feel bad for you.

[@bradgt5130]

Wait, did I miss the other video of the rally front end?

[@JohnTYoung]

Nope. Just didn't want people to have to wait toooooo long for another video and I had this one already done.

[@MegaRyanskie]

Do you still have your IMS tank?

[@JohnTYoung]

I do not. I sold it to help finance the Nomad tank.

[@macexpert7247]

Why not an old fashioned in line fuel filter outside the tank????

[@JohnTYoung]

It's mated to the fuel pickup for the fuel pump, which all sits inside the tank.

[@COOKIEMONSTER90]

Looks like it’s not easy to install Rebel X rally kit =)

[@JohnTYoung]

This video was made long before I got the kit. The kit is on hold while I take care of some personal stuff.

[@COOKIEMONSTER90]

@@JohnTYoung I've already thought about it. I can't wait to see what the bike will look like after kit installation.

@@COOKIEMONSTER90 Me either! I just need some Me time to finish it.
