Replacement Coolant hoses for FZS600 (and stainless clips)?

[hopefiendboy]

Hi All


Looking at options to replace the coolant hoses on the new to me bike. I searched and saw a thread about a group buy but i think it fell through. Has anyone come across any reasonably priced radiator hoses to suit? My soon to be bike is a 2000 FZS600 SP


Cheers in advance!

My first question is have you checked to see if they need replacing before you fork out on hoses.


I would clean/service the brake calipers and replace the brake pads, Oil change & oil filter, plugs & air filter and still have change from what the hoses are likely to cost you. Oh! while the tank is off doing plugs and air filter why not drain out the coolant flush it through and replenish with new anti freeze/coolant.
That's now more likely to be the cost of the hoses you might not need, and, if you do need new hoses do the stuff above anyway and you will be starting from a good datum point to time your next service schedule from,

'Set Your Fazer To Stun' cos that is what they do.

think you will find that no one makes replacement hoses and originals are not being produced  either so if they aint broke you cant fix anyway

could just give them a clean with some black to black or dash cleaner
unless you want colours - get the insulation tape out

stainless steel braiding can be bought and fed over the top of the ones you see if you want it to look tric

ooh and in non stainless steel

However, if you are and they're interested I'll need names, emails and design/colour if you wanna let them know.
