New Hoses needed

Post by jstcraig »

Well the bottom tank is holed :sad:, so time to replace if and finding one was easy surprisingly but where does one find hoses for the early water cooled models ?
I know this topic has been before but wasn’t resolved as far as I could see, the question remains which if any later models coolant hoses are compatible with earlier models?

Is that an oil painting on canvas? :-)

The second looks like a huge mess.

Some have had luck with SOME of the later model hoses after a little cutting and fidgeting.

Nice coolant testing kit, though in this instance you probably figured it out without the tester. :-)

😂 I’m glad you appreciate fine art, the second pic was the result of .8 bar of pressure 😁.
The same retailer has the later model hoses which look close, now with your invaluable input I will purchase those as well.
Stay safe and well 👍👍👍
The pressure tester became necessary after my old one from the 70’s gave up the ghost not that I’m expecting the plastic fantastic setup to last as long 😁

There are a couple of threads on here from the past where people bought the later hoses and tried to make them work on the previous model. Look through those before deciding.

I wondered if it popped from pressure testing. Kinda cool actually.

These arrived today, as I was informed by those who have been before me there will a little fiddling and adjusting. So if you have an Sr89-91 and you need coolant hoses 95-06 200/220 will fit, hope this will help someone and keep another KDX200Sr riding 👍
