Product Description
With the introduction of fuel injection on the 2009 CRF 450R and now on the 2010 CRF 250R, clean fuel has become critical. Many owners are experiencing loss of power and starting issues related to contaminated fuel. The contaminants gradually accumulate in the in tank filter and over time reduce flow to the point that it begins to effect performance. Initially the complete fuel pump assembly had to be replaced at over $300, however this recently released this HONDA Factory Service Bulletin addressing the problem as well as making the in tank sock filter available as a separate part.
BTW- If you are running pump gas in your carbureted CRF, this is also a smart investment for the earlier models as the quality control on pump gas is really poor nowadays and you will not believe what you'll find in the filter! Over a short period of time, unfiltered fuel allows debris will collect in the sediment bowl of your carb and eventually begin to cause starting problems due to clogging of the pilot jet. In severe cases, the main jet can become plugged and the bike will not run at all. We highly recommend that you pull the sediment bowl every other oil change or at least twice per year to keep an eye on things as any debris in there could cause the bike to bog or stall at the most inopportune of times.......
The fine micron mesh material used in the Splitstream fuel filter will even filter out water, however you will need to pull the filter and shake it out after fueling, otherwise the vibration of the running bike will allow the water to pass through the filter.

A couple of things we noticed while testing the Splitstream fuel filters over the past few months.
1- We were concerned that the filter might slow down the filling process, but we did not experience that with any of our fuel jugs.
2- On the first fill up, it seems like the sock filter will prevent you from being able to see the fuel level as the tank is filling, but it is just like normal, you can see the fuel level in the sock as the tank fills.
Here are links to recent posts on the CRFs forum at Thumpertalk.com that go into the severity of the problem in much more detail.

Each Splitstream fuel filter is made of fuel safe nylon nylon mesh for long life and protection.
Designed for a snug fit under the fuel cap, where it strains all fuel that enters the fuel tank.
When you are riding it is under your fuel cap ready for the next fill up.
