When to Change the Fuel Filter

By Mark DiPietro

Question for Fix My Hog I have been following a maintenance schedule for what is apparently an older bike, and it says to change the fuel filter every 25,000 miles. However, when I looked at the schedule for a 2013 Touring bike, it says to change the fuel filter every 100,000 miles. Which is it? Via Email
Fix My Hog Answers Thank you for your email. The factory schedule for your year and model would be the correct schedule. You always have to bring into consideration not only miles, but riding conditions and time. Related Fix My Hog Videos: Harley Fuel Pump and Filter Removal Have more questions?

    I have a 2018 FLHTKSE with 50,000 miles. should I replace the fuel filter. I always run on premium fuel.

    My ‘08 Touring bike specs replacing fuel filter every 50,000 miles. I’ve done it once even though there were no problems at 50k. Bike has 86k now. No problems. Pretty simple, inexpensive procedure that’s cheap insurance.
