Hose kits for GEN I busa'a

[Madmax]

I had the blue silicon hoses from a business here in Ozzie. he sourced them from the UK. From the time I put them on I could smell glycol - the smell of the coolant we put in the Busa. Thought I had pin-holed the radiator during the installation of the hoses. I bought Buce's second hand radiator but before I changed it out I decided to try something first. I took one of the Samco hoses off and found the material that is inside the hose had turned green - coincidentally the same colour of the glycol coolant! The more of the hoses I took off the less the smell I was getting when the bike was warmed up. I asked the local bike shop to make enquiries with the manufacturer for me, the importer f****d us around for months until he eventually said he would take the hoses back to the manufacturer in the UK (England). It had taken 5 months to get to here. I gave up and returned all the hoses to the bike shop for a full refund.
Not saying there is anything wrong with Samco hoses, just be aware that if you start getting the smell of burning glycol - where it's caming from.
