I have never fitted in line filters. The carbs have flooded on probably 3 or 4 occasions in 50k miles and it has always been fixed in half a minute just by simply unclipping the float bowl and letting a little fuel run though whilst jiggling the float up and down. Still on the original float needles.
There are gauze filters in the tank and I haven’t ever found any grit in the float bowls although I’m sure we had plenty of dirty fuel in the bike on our Cape Town trip.
If these filters are a service item it would mean carrying spares on a long trip.
