radiator hoses

Just curious, if replacing the radiator hoses and Y is a must or has anyone not had any problems with busted hoses. I will eventually replace them but I just dont want to take the time right now.

The ''y'' or ''t'' is a must IMO, also the 5/16 hose line that links both radiators.

Haven't done mine yet. 09 txc 250 the warmest I've been out in this fall has been about 25C/78F. Going to do it before the heat of summer next year.

Not a must until next summer. Do it before it gets hot again. Better safe then sorry.

motor gets hot whether its summer or winter ! mine was wrecked and melted inside and i changed mine in winter before it got hot weather... change it asap as its a cheap addition !

t or y

My coolant hose came off the plastic T on my 310 within two hours of the bike being new. I uesd the Y because it has better flow than a T does.

I have had no problems with mine, I did put in some engine ice. I am waiting for CV4 to make a new kit with an integrated "y". They have the prototype done, I am just waiting till I can buy it.

I immediately change all my bikes to Engine Ice with Water Wetter from day one and have never had a problem with the plastic T or the crossovers on any of my Huskys.

We did change the cross over hose before I brought it home. I will do the hoses soon, I just havent felt like wrenching lately. Im still so happy about the bike I just want to ride it instead of work on it.

That is SWEET !

I've been looking for a replacement for my plastic T.

I'm glad you posted that! I wouldn't have found that otherwise.

Thx man!

When do you suspect them to be done? Are you about 2010 applications? Thanks.
