NAPA 3095 works good. But any filter that fits will work.

I was using the Chrome crap from the stealer. Last change went with the BOSCH 3300 from Auto Zone. Haven't heard anything bad about Bosch and the black filter looks kinda good on the bottom of the scoot.

Re:Fuel Filter 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
isn't a bosch 3300 an oil filter???

I'm looking to change my fuel filter. Anything at autozone I can use? You can cross reference oil filters and spark plugs there, can you do the same with fuel filters?

Also I still have the AIS on my bike and looking at the diagram on the service manual, it looks like disconnect the two hoses to the filter and replace the filter and reconnect the hoses. Is it really that simple? There are no instructions on the service manual other than replace fuel filter.

AutoZone can cross reference the napa filter for you. Thats what the did for me. The filter they came up for me at was FF3330.

Not sure that AIS has anything to do with it, but yes, to change the fuel filter, shut off the the gas at the petcock, disconnect both hoses, slide in the new filter, reconnect hoses, and open up the fuel flow again.

You may want to have something to catch the gas from the hose and filter just thought I would mention it ....good thing to do is crank the engine and shut off the petcock and let it run outta gas before you pop the hoses loose...Coug

Re:Fuel Filter 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I wish I had thought of that. I didn't even think of the gas in the line until I pulled off the lines. Luckly I had a rag on the florboard when I did and didn't spill any gas on the bike. I guess I should think before I do things sometimes.
