I read the following on the TAS motorsports website today. What are your opinions on this?
Most Bikes are gravity fed through a 1/4" or 3/16" ID fuel Line. A Filter reduces the diameter of the fuel line greatly since it slides inside of the line..
A paper Filter reduces flow greatly, and most are designed to be used with a system using a pump. We strongly advise AGAINST using an in line filter on anything over 300 CC's or more that 2 carbs.
Several fuel valves include a built in filter system including a screen, sediment bowl, or riser tube that keeps the valve from receiving debris from the bottom of the tank. Make sure your valve is in good condition, remove it and clean the area around the seal. Never run the bike on "reserve" since this is when it pulls from the bottom of the tank, and not through the riser.
