zoomjay Posted January 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2016 I have an 88 1300 that I am working on. I had to remove the radiator and would like to replace the water hoses when I put it back together although do not see any listed on ebay (okay, I am a slave to ebay). Are they a standard size (aka can I just go to the autoparts store and pick up some straight hoses or do I have to pay the price for yamaha ones? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted January 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2016 A few years back there was a fellow on here that posted a method for heat forming straight radiator hoses so they would fit a first Gen because he could not buy them. You maybe able to find his posts if you search for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISA Posted January 20, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2016 with guarantee only 1 tube doesn't approach. For a small circle. The others should be tried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozlander Posted January 21, 2016 Share #10 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) For $33 I would try some, but I can't figure out the web site. Should be able to get them direct from china, but can't find them US Shipping in West Chester, Ohio has them for 54 bucks on e-bay.
