Hi,
V Raptor 2002 Fuel Filter needs replacement.
I was thinking of fitting a replacement 'external' Fuel filter, rather than just replacing it with an Internal filter.
Does anyone have experience of doing this? Are there any known disadvantages that I should be aware of?

V Raptor 1000 Fuel Filter Replacement
Re: V Raptor 1000 Fuel Filter Replacement
I attempted this a couple of months ago and bought a Mahle kl145 fuel filter that was supposed to fit & after going through all the ballache of putting it in the pump assembly it didn’t physically fit through the hole in the tank 
.A genuine Suzuki item is listed on eBay for about £68 with postage from Japan
.So I ended up putting the original one back in & will be doing the external filter mod over the winter some time.A guy does a good guide to this on YouTube under ‘tl1000 external fuel filter mod’

Hi,
I'm still looking into this, but I was thinking of something along the line of:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Filter- ... 0010.m2109
This is for a 1500 fuel injection engine, so flow shouldn't be a problem. Though if the filter is going to go outside the tank I would not need the right-angle bend in the input pipe which means there are more options open.

Re: V Raptor 1000 Fuel Filter Replacement
Yeah that looks good but I’m going for the external filter mod as I already have the filter,might as well put in new pump whilst in there 
Re: V Raptor 1000 Fuel Filter Replacement
Yes, already bought a replacement pump (for TL), looks right, bench tested OK but not tried on bike yet. The bike hasn't been run for 5 years, so I have a list of things I want to check and make sure are right before trying to coax the engine back into life. I'm about half way through the list and this is the last thing I know I need to replace, so not long now.

Decided to tear-down original filter, Really bad build up of rust inside that could not have been cleaned by flushing.
I'm going to try a repair so I Just ordered a larger fuel filter element from Ebay, when it comes I'm going to try trimming it to size to replace the original. Worth a try at £4.47.
