HELP ME!- KX450 Fuel Line
« on: February 04, 2021, 01:05:26 PM »
So in December I got this 2019 KX450 with 54 hours on it and have torn it down to regrease everything but am stuck at the fuel line. There is a red clip that slides, so I slid it but nothing happened and I couldn't see anything else to do, so I pried the red clip completely off and the line still will not seem to come off. What am I missing? Do I just need to pull harder? HELP!   :cry:

Not sure about KX but my yamaha on both CRF's you pull the clip and push the line towards the spigot and rotate a few times, then pull right off.  It should not require too much force but pushing it towards and twisting helps the little fingers retract inside the clip

Thanks guys, I don't do Vital Slap but I eventually found it here, in a "how to change a spark plug" video; it's at about 2:30.

You DO remove the red clip completely and then just twist and pull. It was just a lot harder to do than I thought it should be.   8)

Make sure it’s all the way on when you put it back(secure red clip)together. My line popped off while on the track at western.  :shock: :shock:
