Aftermarket Fuel Line Connection Replacement?

[mo8414]

I had a 2021 Indian Challenger that needed the tank removed to change the air filter also. Indians’ design was to place the fuel line disconnect on the side of the engine making it much more accessible, piece of cake. Indian encourages doing your own maintenance. The Rocket’s design seems to call for having a spare quick connect everytime the tank is removed. I haven’t had to remove my Rocket’s tank yet, but I am a bit discouraged. It seems like Triumph doesn’t like us doing our own maintenance.

Its probably a lot easier for the countires that don't have to have the main kill switch since they stuck the fuel connector behind it. Once unlocked it is a pain to hit the buttons to remove it. Taking off the air inlet on that side first helps give you a little more room. I used two phillips head screw drivers to hit the buttons then pry up to remove it. Next time I plan to buy the special pliers to see how effective they are. I plan on doing my fikter and spark plugs soon so we will see how that goes.

Yeah- get the pliers. Worth it.
