I'm not sure which filter you're talking about. Couldn't find an in-tank on the schematic. Speaking of schematics, if you go to either BikeBandit.com or RonAyers.com they both have schematics that you can view and order from.

It one of those things where the screen just fits through the hole if you have it exactly straight. Then sometimes you get a little swelling from living in the gas and they can be a bitch to get out.
The new one will be a little easier to put in. So if you have already damaged it by trying to get it out or if it looked bad, then do what you have to in order to get pull it . Just try not to drop any bits into the tank if at all possible.
Then install the new one, maybe with a little "spit" for some lube on the center bit to help push that part through. It should slide right in, just remember to keep it as straight and square to the hole as you can.

as a last resort, you could always put a little heat to it, but you might wanna save it for the 4th of july or some other holiday where fireworks are appropriate.haha

Mine use to do that but only if I was riding in the rain. I would open the gas cap to release the pressure in the tank and the bike would start right up, but then die again after a few miles. Until I could get out of the rain, when the bike would die, I would pull the clutch in, coast, open the cap, release the clutch, the bike would start right up and keep going. When I was able to find a good place to stop, I removed the tank and found that a drain hose coming out of the bottom of the tank was clogged so I cut the end off and blew some air in it (bubbles came out inside the tank). Problem solved.

Not recommended to everyone but this is what I did since I didn't have 2 keys: while riding, pull in the clutch, coast, turn off the motor with the key, remove the key from the ignition, open the gas cap slightly with said key, close the gas cap, insert key back in the ignition, turn on the motor, release the clutch, ride for a few miles until the engine dies, pull the clutch in quickly so you keep rolling, repeat until you get to a safe place.
Earlier post update: it has been over a year and many dry and rainy rides later, I have never had this issue come up again. For me, cutting the clogged hose solved the problem.
