TE/TC Installing CV4 or other Silicone hoses, info

I all ready posted this in my bullet proof the TE300 thread but feel its important so here is the solo hose thread.

"continuing the thread, this is an important issue for those adding sillycone hoses. Mine are CV4. I will try to explain this.... OK at the top of cylinder connection on these and KTMs the hose is attached to the cylinder head with the barb fitting the hose goes up to a free floating metal hose barb that is inside the frame. With oem thinner hose the hose slides over the hose barb and slides up inside the cutout into the frame then the clamp is tightened leaving an extra length of hose to fill the gap between the metal barb and frame cutout. When installing the Silly hose its too wall thick to slide up into the frame, this leaves the metal hose barb banging around metal to metal on the cut out.
I cut @ 1/2 IN of OEM hose and slid it onto the hose barb then slide the silly blu hose onto the barb, this pushed the oem hose section up through the frame cut out as it was designed to do so the barb is snug and insulated from metal to metal chafing using the oem hose section. The blu sillycone butts to the end of the oem hose and is clamped over the barb and Rob is happy, husky is happy and so goes goes the bullet proof into the next phase. "

Metal to metal chafing/vibrating together is not a good thing.

Thanks for the info. I just installed the cv4 hoses on my TC250 and this is a great tip!
