Radiator/coolant hose availability

Postby dunekahn » Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:45 pm

Hi all, I've not been on here in years, I've neglected my 2002 Baghira Street Moto.

I've gotten her roadworthy again, but have noticed my coolant hoses are looking pretty raunchy. I replaced the small hose that joins the radiators at the top with some reinforced line, due to the original cracking and leaking.

Does anyone know if the hoses used on the Baghira are common to any other bikes that use this 660 Yamaha thumper? I've been looking- I've found a bunch of other useful info, but not for coolant hose replacement.

She sat so long I had to disassemble and clean the carbs out before she'd run right and not pee gasoline on the floor, lol!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

hi there,
check out Yamaha XT660 parts for direct replacements, although I used a section of 19mm ID silicone hose from ebay, to replace a section of hose running from the top of the water pump to the engine block, as it was out of stock/no longer available from my local MZ dealer here in the UK.
cheers Eric.

Thank you David, I'll likely have to piece together what I need from stuff that is close. I looked into Eric's suggestion above, the hoses for the XTZ and for the SZR are completely different and will be of no use.

I logged almost 120 miles this last Sunday, she ran beautifully in 100° weather. Those cooling hoses make me uncomfortable though.
