Title: 2014 Monster 1200S fuel quick connector issues... Post by: nickbee on June 15, 2018, 10:33:20 AM Hey guys...
I lifted my tank for the 1st time to day to replace my air filter. plastic fuel quick connector is leaking after. I just inspected the fitting by turning on the key and letting the fuel pump cycle. I inspected the O rings on the connector and they look fine (this was the 1st time they came off) and I coated them with silicon before reassembly. Any ideas? I've seem metal fuel connectors available for older monsters. But none for these... THANKS! Title: Re: 2014 Monster 1200S fuel quick connector issues...

Do we have a source for these? Ducati parts are only showing the entire fuel line. The o rings or even just the connector is not listed. Title: Re: 2014 Monster 1200S fuel quick connector issues...

I ordered viton rings from: http://www.theoringstore.com Do you guys have any tips on installing this connector without jacking the o rings? I’ll give them a light coat of silicon grease. Also are there any metal quick connect conversions out there for this bike? Thanks again! Title: Re: 2014 Monster 1200S fuel quick connector issues...

Be prepared to replace if they've been on there a while. The grease can dry out causing the oring to stick and tear when disconnected. The orings can also take a compression set and harden over time. I normally use a lithium grease. Viton is a good material choice. Cheap insurance to replace the orings if you need to disconnect and it's been in place for a few years. The plastic connectors can also get brittle over time and break when you squeeze them to release.
