Don't recall you helping me? Jokes.

Just buy generic lines mate. 10 meters of sturdy pipe and do it all yourself.

Then buy some of this. I've seen it on someone elses project and it looks SWEET!

Used properly and it looks sweet.

Just measure it yourself. Not hard.

Thats just sleeving. You use it over the top of new hoses.

Calum122 · Guru

Just have a look mate. It does look really effective when done right.

No one said you was stupid, that's your assumptions.

And as for hoses, can get blue, red and green (IIRC) loads of people have them just search "Yamaha DT hoses" on eBay and they all come up.

If you're talking about the little pipes going from the expansion bottle etc, just grab a couple of different sizes, they're cheap enough. Then which ever one fits jobs a good 'un.

By the way, don't forget heavy duty jubilee clips to go on the hoses to hold them on, or they'll come off one day and throw scalding hot coolant over you. wink

Luke · Guru

P.S use different colours for coolant and petrol / fuel lines. ;) Makes it a lot easier. Can use clear pipes if you don't want to mix colours.

But cheers mate for the rest of the info ;) .... appreciate it :)

Yeah cheers probably gonna go with red hoses but not too sure on fuel lines, thinking yellow/blue/red possibly, dunno not too sure yet ;)

Oh yeah defiantly gonna use good jubilee clips for coolant hoses :)

iv replaced all hoses and fuel line with red, i bought a length of sfs silicone hose from the dirtbike show and i think it was a meter in length and think its about 15mm id and about 25mm od that just me measuring it then with a crappy ruler in my living room.

and this is the fuel line i bought www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270949181887

Cheers buddy, and for that link too, not a bad price :) Ill probs go with them if i decide to go all red :)

As for coolant hoses probably gonna order these in Red and use my jubilee clips I already have for the coolant system, saves the hassle of cutting each hose down to size and these ones have branding too, good quality and fairly cheap :)

that not bad but i paid £20 and its has branding all the way down and i ha quite alot left to also treat the yz when i get round to it

with that fuel line i had a £5 code for anything on ebay cus i just started a new ebay acount so got it for next to nothing lol

Thats alright then mate aye kid :) yeah had a good look around, even Tried having a look on that sfs website but as they didnt have the dtr listed cba to arse around so just bought those DPH ones to save the hassle and time :)

that link you gave me to that red fuel line set I got into contact with her to see if they were made out of silicone, which they were so ordered them ones :) cheapest for what you get on eBay so ta mate for the link :)

....If anyone wants to replace the pipe which goes from the rear res' to the other thing (dont know what it's called) you needa order 8mm ID and 13 OD hose.

If you're replacng the oil lines then make sure you buy some rigid pipe. If it bends easily with your hands then I wouldn't bother using it. If it kinks then say BYE BYE to your engine.

dread123 · Moderator

sorry to drag up old thread...

looking for size for petrol line...looking for clear line if possible? any links or anyone have measurements?

cheers

mr karnage · Guru

About 8mm inner diameter

Someone will clarify

NEV · Guru

I think I use 6mm tubing, and put the end inch, into a cup of boiling water so as to heat it and expand it onto the spigot, then pipe/jubilee clip it.
