What You'll Learn
Fuel filter location on 2009 Outty 650 Max XT
The fuel filter location on the 2009 Outty 650 Max XT depends on the build date. Early 2009 models have the same fuel system as the 2008 model, which has a filter in the tank and an inline filter under the seat. Later 2009 models have a newer system with a filter sock in the tank and no inline filter.
If your 2009 model has an inline filter, it should be located under the seat, towards the back. One user with a 2007 650 model described it as a "big silver piece that has a band around it, with the band being screwed to the frame."
If you cannot locate the fuel filter in these locations, it may be inside the fuel tank. However, this seems like too much work and would require a visit to the dealer.
It is recommended to change the fuel filter at 100 hours, and adjust the valves at the same time if necessary.
