cluch filter

[Gator Joe]

I have a 2012 825i gator and it keeps sucking the cluch filter down the tube to about hafe way down. It is doing this more and more to the point where every time I ride it I have to keep pulling the tube off and dig out the form filter. Does eany one else having this problem? Thank You. Gator Joe

I havent had this problem myself but i think i read a previous thread where some were and someone mentioned running a wire tie through it to keep it in place. you should be able to search the threads and find that.

Thanks a lot for the info I'll try that and see if that works.

i had that problem but i fixed by taking one of those clamps that has a screw on and you turn it to tighten it (the clamp you use to secure you dryer exhaust hose to the dryer) i put on the outside of the black intake hose just about where the middle of the filter sits on the inside and thightened just a little bit and solved my problem.

Yeah I had this problem also. I took some stainless steel wire and went through the hose, through the filter and back through the hose and tied it off. Did this in an X pattern. No problems since.

Thanks for the help I am getting tired of taking off that hose every time I ride it to get the filter out of the hose. Gator Joe
