Do the LX series have fuel filters and if they do is it easy to access them? Thanks

I looked under the back of my scoot and spotted something that looks like it might be a fuel filter.....

Look under the scoot upward, between exhaust and bodywork.

Maybe I saw a fuel pump? I'm not sure either.....

Does this count as a filter?

Isn't that the fuel tap on the lx? Goes up inside the fuel tank

I believe not, just the bit on the end of the tap, although I'm no expert! 8)

That's all that's needed. An extra inline filter can be added of course.
