Hi all, thought I’d go out for a quiet ride while the football was on, fired her up and peeing out petrol. ( smelled a bit last nights ride) One of the fuel lines has split... meh How do you get the line clip off the injector ? And what to use as replacement/where from ? Ta
Double ear clamps. I cut through one of the ears using snips or a hacksaw. Replacements are cheap on eBay (to suit pipe diameter). There is a proper tool to tighten the ears but I use a pair of pincers.
Some say they are not as efficient, upgrade the standard ones with pipercross replacements, others will have different opinions though. Steve
Took them off to take the air box off ? Btw, one has a rubber o ring and the other doesn’t, clumbsy service at some point ?
So if I get a pipe can i use a jubilee clip or does it have to be one of the ones originally fitted ?(it’s a jubilee clip under the tank )
answered my own question, sawn the clip off, jubilee clip to follow as soon as I get a pipe! edit; got the pipe from a motor factors, its 5/16ths or 7.5mm if anyone needs one and for some obscure reason its marked on the pipe as 8mm. To be honest 8mm would be far easier to fit, 7.5mm is a pig to push on under the tank! #ducati748fuelpipe
Built it back up, all good, went for a ride and found out why the coolant had dropped a little, just before the expansion tank split! So everything off again and new one ordered! She's trying my patience! The coolant tank is I'm told, a bad design prone to splitting.
