Suzuki TL1000 fuel filter mod

getting the bike up and running again with a fuel filter modification.... if your reading this part get a submersible fuel line.

[@johnnelson213]

Makes me happy to see an old TL getting some love. I have a '2000 TL1000R that puts a grin on my face every time I ride it.

[@urbanjunglerider9229]

Cool you got her running! I have 2 of those and both need work, never g8ve up on em...there good bikes under apprrciated

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I loved those but could only get an SV1000S in 03 when I was ready to buy. Loving IT still! I recommend Dyna coils. I used white vinegar to derust my tank, came out nice. You may want to remove the stator and check the flywheel magnets. Mine had all broken loose and migrated to one side. 13.8 volts at idle makes me suspect yours have too. My SV makes 14.4volts at idle now with them glued back in place. (Permatex sleeve retainer with aircraft fuel tank sealant in between each of them as a buffer). I hope you are having fun on that bike by now.

Great video, I have to resurrect a TL1000s that has been garaged for 18 years, so I know there may be some issues.

[@kristy7174]

Well done. Have a lot of fun riding.

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

The Hayabusa rear brake disc is larger and will fit the TL if you use the Hayabusa caliper mount too. It's a worthwhile upgrade. Can get the caliper mount for about $5 on eBay.

When he was about to start it, I was where's the fire extinguisher man? Don't want to loose your new garage!

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

Still love the sound with those Yosh bolt-ons.

[@Mlive722]

That looks good compared to what I pulled out my TL tank today 😆 whole tank was rust and sludge.

[@SNYPBMX]

Hello man. Thank you from the south of France. I have the same issue in my tank and i know how i can solve it now. I hope you will post tons of advice on how repair this bike because im just doing like you at this moment !!! Bye

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

Just remember the fuel line you put in the tank make sure it's submersible fuel line

[@mezera787]

Great video man, very informative. Keep it up.

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

I should show him what to do with the airbox...

[@jeremyevans3444]

yeah I was just wondering why if we're going to do an external fuel filter the most of us is still have a good fuel filter why we wouldn't disconnect the existing fuel filter out of the inside of the tank and then just relocated to the outside of the tank and put a new piece of hose in the fuel pump like you've done then just run are pre-existing fuel filter outside of the tankI appreciate the idea but the least now I can put my fuel filter on the outside and I wanted to change so much but I don't mind taking it apart

[@thebear6529]

ahhh awesome!! I have 2 of them tl,im starting to work on soon.ty

[@cjsgarage3662]

woa, that fuelpump looks dirty. Bad gasoline or sand what is it......... Good job to make her running!

[@SherrySherry]

Submersible fuel -filter- line... got it 👍🏍️‼️

[@garringt303]

Thank you for the video, it has helped me out a lot. I am going to do the same to my 97’ tl1000s tank. Did you mix the CLR with water or use it full strength?

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

You can mix it with some water but I did use straight CLR don't forget when you put it all back together the fuel line you put in the tank make sure it's a submersible fuel line

[@garringt303]

@@cunninghamgarage2074 okay thank you for the tips.

No problem thanks for watching the video don't forget to subscribe

Those quick connects, on Kawasaki the barb has a coned lock and those quick connects are for a barb with a flat lock, any ideas? I know toyota 4 runner barbs are also coned and that quick connect won't lock on it. The coned barbs have a lock which is about 9mm and the flat barb lock is about 8mm so I was thinking to enlarge the quick connect lock seat with a drill bit of 9mm so that they fit Kawasaki, if not Kawasaki wants about $80 for those quick connects that cost $5 for 2 online. The motorcycle ETFE fuel line is now available at O'reilies for about $20 for a 12" stick which must be heated to shape.

Greetings, I am from Africa-Angola I have a bike like this but it fails mainly when I accelerate, I don’t know if it’s injection or power! help me.

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I would start with checking your spark plugs and your throttle synchronization. Mine hesitates when you first hit the throttle and I think it's the synchronization of the throttle bodies

[@luispiano9504]

@@cunninghamgarage2074 Thank you very much I will dismantle any doubts tomorrow I will ask you to help me ... Thank you. Best regards.

[@DavidSyratt]

Really good video. Haven't changed mine filter yet. What year is the Hyabusa rear wheel. Keep up the good work.

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I used the first gen Hayabusa wheel and changed over the brake disc to the tl1000s

[@nukezat]

Awesome video! please add to the comments the part list!

done external fuel filter mod on my busa nice ty

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

The Hayabusa looks like a really comfortable bike, I would love to have one.

[@satanem]

@@cunninghamgarage2074 just recently bought it had loads of dry sandy crud in tank not rust previous owner fitter secondary low pressure pump and tiny minimoto filter so i swapped it for a much larger filter im surprised the tank closes but it does busa is beautiful bike to ride super stable slightly slower turning and fantastic at any speed just heavy for manual maneuvers i should have bought one years ago

[@cierrastevenson7883]

Where is the canister located at on the tl1000s 1997

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I've honestly never had a TL that had one on it LOL but from what I know it's somewhere near under the seat

[@Kiwi-vk1lo]

Any updates on this? I’m close to Knoxville too and just got a 97 TLS. The fan won’t kick on until 211 degrees! Most people just put a manual switch on it.

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

There will be some new videos pretty soon I think I'm going to pull it out this weekend and work on it some more. I put my fan on a manual switch also

[@oooti4621]

Where do you buy the fuel line

[@kembalsado1]

Fantastic video!!!! Are you on the FB TL fanatics group?

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

Thanks for watching the video. I am on the TL Fanatics group on Facebook

[@michaelpashan21]

will a tls tank sit on a tlR? 98 to 2001? they look very similar down below

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I'm not sure

[@michaelpashan21]

@@cunninghamgarage2074 Thank you, one more question, there is black fuel pump type of thingy sitting in my tail section, that also goes to the throttle, do you know what it is? its round and a bit bigger

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I think that has something to do with emissions

[@charleschandler5610]

I have seen some of the videos. How do I get in touch with you? I have two 1999 tl1000r that I would like to speak with you about.

What size fuel line

[@craighagedorn4842]

Thanks did the mod Destiny Motorsports Florid

[@SherrySherry]

That's just gravy 😜☣️‼️

[@ppaha]

Nice job!

[@jamiewalters9916]

Will this work for the TL1000R as well?

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

It should work. Just remember to use submersible fuel injection hose

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

He's using the wrong hose that's not rated for submersion in the tank. That's a seriously bad mistake. Can't use ordinary high-pressure fuel injection hose, as the outside will deteriorate when submerged after only a few years.

[@watchmestress4182]

Yep that crap was hard to find too. I did this mod to my TLR and ended up having to order it online for like $20/foot.

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I did end up using the wrong hose and had to disassemble the bike for a second time and I did update the description to tell people to use submersible hose

[@kobemyers]

I have a tl1000s suzuki and im having trouble putting my choke cable back on my carb

[@kobemyers]

Any tips?

[@cunninghamgarage2074]

I haven't had that issue yet I would say just keep working with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

Isn't that the '97 pre-recall tank? And the obsolete seal? No, he's OK, the tank has the "X" embossed in the bottom.

[@silkysmooth7900]

Fill your tank up with evaporust. It will dissolve all of the rust

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

He should have sawed off the bracket and the metal pipe at the top above the pump and just used a longer hose with 2 clamps instead of 2 hoses with 4 clamps.

[@gregorypinkowski7809]

He could just re-use the old quick-disconnect.
