Radiator Hose?

[DannyCliffe]

Hey guys,

Recently when riding I've been getting a bit of leaking from the top radiator, the very top hose on the right hand side. Its a thin hose and its split where the clips go around it.

I've followed it through and it connects to the water bottle on the right of the seat.

Just a question when changing it...

I've bought a few silicone hoses, same width etc and new clips for it, will these be ok? They are just plain silicone hoses.

The other question is do I need to do anything after? I'm not mechanically minded so does it need bleeding? I'm happy changing the part itself just need to know if anything needs doing after?

Many thanks :)

Straightforward job just ensure its routed correctly no bleeding required it's just a radiator overflow pipe

Oh is that all it is? So being connected to the water bottle does it just loop back around? As you can tell I literally have no idea.

I thought it went to the bottom of the bike until I took the fairings off and saw it connected back to the water bottle.

Thank you for helping :)

Don't forget to get the clamp kit that goes with the silicone hoses... "Regular" hose clamps will tear-into the hoses.
