749 Fuel Filter Hose Clips Suggestions

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by RC1, Jun 12, 2021.

  1. Any suggestions for good quality replacement clips instead of the single use OE ones pictured? would a single ear o clip do the trick? suggestions for size and brand would be good. i know some folks jubilee clips but id rather avoid if possible

  2. I use double ear hose clips. I don’t have the proper tool so use some pincers to fit them.
     
  3. None of those

  4. nice one thanks all ordered cheers
     
  5. This is the correct tool, it doesn't cut into the clamp ears and it keeps the ear flat as it pulls it together 16235766240081502534756171400429.jpg 16235766562166499942516118205299.jpg 16235766817928972915282026774024.jpg

  6. Just to update on this after finally replacing my fuel filter and o ring and going out for a little test yesterday

    Got the single ear single use clips from oetiker and some knipex pincers specifically for single ear clips

    If time wasnt an issue i would have gone for the tool above which is definitely better than the pincers i have which dont have the flat bit to keep the ear flat

    Its all worked well so far and the oetiker clips are very good

  7. I changed the pipes to rubber type, bit larger outer dia but I used stainless clips that sort of clamps the Pipe all around with a screw, not jubilee because they do not sit right on small dia pipe. Reason I changed the pipes was because the plastic pipe split and the air box caught fire, some how the fire went out even though it was spraying fuel and of course plenty of air, worth to check this as I shit my panties when I took apart and found that had happened and couldn't to this day work out why the bike didnt light up.
     
  8. thats a good shout re changing the pipes to rubber as mine were quite stiff
     
  9. Am I missing something, good quality SS jubilee clip ??
