Scottishpaul43 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hello everybody hope you're all good So my cooler pipe is leaking and I have seen some posts saying to cut off the pipes and replace them with hoses and jubilee clips and am hoping to go to my brothers place at the weekend and give it a go (he got the mechanical hands and I only got the good looks you see ) But does anyone know where I can get the hoses, oil filter etc anywhere in central London? Also is chopping the pipes the only way to do it or does anyone have an alternative please? I'd really appreciate any pointers in the right direction Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi Paul I would consider fitting hoses and using pipe clips as only suitable as a temporary measure, this is because once you have cut the metal pipes there is no going back if the hoses don’t seal or if they react with the oil/heat and fail. So my first approach if the pipe has a split is to try to solder the pipe in the same fashion as a plumber would, If this does not work or is not going to be successful, You could contact the aftermarket motorcycle suppliers who often sell flexible ‘aero quip’ or goodridge type oil hoses. http://www.merlinmot...CFe8htAodZCG-ng Or you could bite the bullet and order some new pipes from a Yamaha agent, Hope this helps and you find suitable fix AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
