Fixed that stumpling in the RPM range!

Well I had the back wheel off to change out the tire. Noticed the fuel filter hanging out there under the rear fender. Thought to myself, it would be a convenient time to change it out. On my way to the shop to swap tires picked one up at Cdn Tire. Wow what a difference. Fired up the bike and it goes through the hole rpm range now with no stumbling at all. I was thinking it needed diaphrams and such. Been running seafoam and helped a little.

 

Just wanted to pass it on. If your ride is running like SH*t, maybe the $4 fix, not the $100 one needed:)

I got into the habit of changing the fuel filter everytime I install a new rear tire rather it seems to need it or not. A lot easier to do with the tire off as you have found out.

About 10,000 miles, for fuel filter, is a pretty good rule of thumb

Are you using the Yamaha fuel filter or something else?

I just picked one up at CDN Tire in the power sports section. As long as its the same size connector for size of fuel line and you get the in/out the proper direction all should be good. Made a big difference.
