Hi

Thought I would let it be known, I bought some diesel fuel hose from halfords (enough said?) And fitted it to my rg125.
First fail it had kinked because of the S Shape after 50 miles. Second fail new bit of line, less of an S, now the pipe doesn't supply enough fuel over 60mph it bogs full till I slow down, let the carb refill, it's ok then till the carbs empty again (a mile if lucky!)
So yea, don't use halfords diesel hose.

Regards
T

Must be a diesel 125, or you'd have bought Halfords' petrol hose.

1st mistake. Kink in pipe. Operator error Embarassed
2nd mistake. Operator error. You must have got the wrong ID pipe..... Laughing

Halfords diesel hose = Thumbs Up for what it was designed for.

Why would someone who considers Halfords negatively choose to take advantage of the convenience that their stores offer?

Just to be clear, you also want to avoid using duck fat to lube your wheel bearings, should you care to service your machine any time soon. Laughing
