Iceracer I just took this picture of the in-line filter on my ride. This is what I'm wanting to get a spare for.......so if I'm reading you right this isn't "stock"? Looks like the petcock has a slow leak or maybe its the high temp. of -3 today it doesn't like.

The filter pictured does not have very much surface area and will not take long before it may restrict the fuel flow.  If you are going to run a small fuel filter like the one pictured I would check it frequently of its ability to flow well.
