Fuel line connection came undone and left me stranded!

Put a little bit of clean oil on your finger and rum it on that metal tube. Trust me it goes together easier with that little mod.

The oil mod or the rum mod? I can see that either, or even both together, might be effacious. (Sorry mate, couldn't resist it )

Today I received a mail from the dealer where I got the bike from.

He admitted it was his fault.
To make the installation of the heated grips easier they lifted the tank and disconnected the fuel line.

They forgot to reconnect the fuel line firmly (click sound).

A good dealer that owns up to their mistakes.

that is amazing!

I'm glad you had no accident or injury resulting from that oversight, Riko.

[Riko_imp]

indeed, an honest dealer is always a good thing, too bad he's located too far from me to do maintenance

quietguy, true!
Worst case is on the freeway, losing power, having to drift to the road shoulder...if there is any at that moment you happen to stand still, or drift at a highway intersection.

I simply don't take mine to the dealer any more. Heck, I even have a close friend that works there. The only thing that I use them for is tire mounting if I don't want to do it, but I still take the wheels off.

That little green clip can get out of position and the gas line won't secure itself. I've had the gixxer tank off/on a hundred times and you do eventually get good at removal/install of those.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but what are the part numbers for that green connector and black rubber surround? Have to tackle the OEM heated grip installation myself.

Yeah I have a 2017 too and in the 2013 and 2014 part diagrams it is easy to find the green connector and rubber piece but in the 2017 diagrams I can't seem to find it. I'm wondering if the 2017s don't have the part...
