 :lol :lol....after carelessly refitting the sprocket cover on my gen 1 thou I managed to trap one of the coolant hoses  :o..went down to  "spectrum hose"here in high wycombe at lunchtime and they sold me a length of silicone hose as a temp repair for £3.50 a metre..bargain and fits a treat.....shitty blue though  :'(...cant have that on a far superior silver bike so on the way home dropped into local stealers and ordered a new one....£25....and thats why I call them stealers  ;)

Looked at that, hose is not reinforced and when bending it hose kinks and stops flow, the reinforced stuff wont bend enough, thats why I went for the silicone one, super flexable just a shame its blue, if they had black in stock I wouldn't of bothered with the yam one.......I 'll get lots of enjoyment out of it this summer and will soon forget the price  :thumbup

The stuff from my local autofactors is, like I would assume it would be at most places. Anyway you bought it now, so onwards and upwards.
