    Default 2018 with 20282 miles - replaced fuel filter & changed Anti-freeze.

    Well as part of getting the Champagne Spyder ready for the trip from AZ to WA I did some more servicing.

    I found the short hose leaving the filter that connects to the plastic Y was starting to fail. I suggest you have one or a few additional Oetiker hose clamp for the fuel lines. Filter came with 2 and I needed a third one.

    I bought these champs for the rad hose. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013WZF9XW...roduct_details
    and this tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXCZDJ55...roduct_details which I did some grinding on the shape od the jaws better work with these small hose clamps.

    The fuel filter is pissy to change and the anti-freeze just time consuming and working under the trike. Like the YT I watched I removed the plastic belly piese on the right side. And took the tupper wear down the the headlight surround, to give better access to the anti-freeze expansion tank.

    I used a dremel cutoff wheel to cut the raised clamp area to remove the old champs.
