BRP tubing cover for fuel line

[BeRight]

As noted by others, 2009 models have tubing cover for fuel line.

Is it O"K/safe to have this tubing cover touching the engine???:helpsmilie:

My fuel line is not short and is a tight fit against fuel filter - all good but it does touch the engine on a sharp corner. Fuel line seems OK now but sure is in a bad spot and was hoping not to have to remove air box-major looking pain the the arsh. Just slip tubing over fuel line.

Your thoughts/guidance is greatly appreciated

or you can just split the next size bigger hose longways and slide it over

Mine is touching the head, but I expect no problems. The corrugations should keep the fuel hose cooler since there is little contact, and I don't expect the tubing to melt touching just a corner of a water colled motor. The tubing will most certainly stop chafing of the fuel line. I will inspect closely for a while, though. I may try to stick a tie-wrap hold-down to the bottom of the airbox, and tie the line back to that, but it is under a lot of tension, and may pull the stick-on anchor loose.
