I will be taking the tank off my 2017EX when the weather warms up to install the LED indicator for an OEM Honda alarm system on my bike. There is a separate thread about the alarm system here on the Forum. Originally I had thought to do without the LED, but changed my mind, and have that part on the way from Japan. Consequently this thread has been of huge interest to me, and obviously a big help.
Cormanus link in post #13 to a different thread post by another member, shows the 2013-2014 type connector. In doing the research, I discovered that Honda used this connector up until 2016 when all the Honda bikes I looked at parts diagrams for changed to the connector that is the subject of this thread. Up through 2015, whether on a CB1100 or other model, the parts diagrams listed the green clip, and rubber locking piece as available separate parts, and consequently the Shop manual I have ( 2013-2014 ) called for those parts to be replaced if the fuel line was ever disconnected.
In looking at the 2017 parts diagram https://www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/...-fuel-pump initially I could not figure out why those parts to be replaced were not on the diagram, and after reading this thread, viewing the videos, links, etc., not even the white plastic clip tommymck removed and pictured was listed. Then I saw part #5 Hose,Fuel Feed on the diagram, and it all became clear in combination with the info in this thread.
Part #5 for my 2017, runs from the tank to the fuel pump with what one of the videos in this thread describes as a high pressure fuel line quick disconnect, permanently attached to both ends. Since the parts diagram does not list the white plastic clip as a separate part, it is not intended to be removed from the quick disconnect, and so is not needed as a replacement part.. The white clip is a press to release lock, as shown in the videos in this thread. As tommymck found his connector still locks onto the fuel line without the white clip, but may be more difficult to release next time ( if needed ) without it.
Many thanks to tommymck and all the other contributors in this thread, otherwise I would have been scratching my head trying to figure out how to release that connector when the time comes, and I certainly did not know the connector design on my 2017 was different from the 2013-2014 either.
