Post subject: | Replacement petrol pipe |
Any recommendations on best pipe to use to replace what I have, and where to get it mail order? Mine has just split, temporarily fixed by cutting part of it out and putting in an inline filter I had |

I used some off eBay for my S1. Something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COTTON-BRAIDE ... 3393345ada I bet any car accessory shop will have some to match up... |

Cheers, what size I.D. do I need? Was thinking of clear braided pipe so I can see if I have run out of fuel! |

I seem to remember it yellowing and hardening on all the bikes I have seen using it... I think the black stuff is Nitrile which is resilient to fuel. |

I remember old pipe doing that too, forgot about that. Just found this stuff: http://www.sparesforclassicmotorcycles1 ... -471-p.asp not suitable for ethanol so a bit useless nowadays. Is the ebay stuff ok ( bit paranoid about the problems ethanol is, and will be, causing on my bikes) |

I think the stuff I posted a link is what I have on mine and have not had any issues over the last six years or so. |
