Hey,

Does anyone know what stock size fuel lines are for this bike? Looking for ID/OD or links to where people have bought them for this bike before.

I thought I ordered the right size but it was such a thick fuel line it was comical. Are fuel lines meant to be stretched to an extent? I tried getting something smaller but it just wouldn't fit over the fuel pump nips.

Thanks!

If you go in a motor factors to get fuel line these days it tends to be a lot thicker than standard. Just get a pair of jubilee clips that go over the new pipe.

If you're struggling to get the hose to push onto fittings you can warm it up with a hairdryer or even dip in hot water to soften it.

I would buy E10 compatible pipes, i have just thrown a few different (suitable for unleaded) pipes in the bin after soaking them in E5 fuel making them soft and slimy.
