Replacing Fuel Lines? - SV650.org

29-10-12, 09:44 AM

Morning guys,

I'm looking to replace the fuel lines on the SV as the current ones are looking pretty battered now. I recently went into the shop to ask about it but the guy there seemed pretty confused on what size hoses they needed for the SV. I guess the thickness on them or something. So does anyone here know the size of the fuel hoses required on the curvy?

Thanks in advance guys!

Ant.!

I can't remember which, but I've done a couple of fuel line replacements on SV's and as I only have 5/16" and 5/32" pipe (4mm or 8mm, I think it's the 8mm, but it's been some time) ; it's one of those.

you can get the normal rubber version (normally black), or the steel braided covered ones or the plastic type which comes in many colours, if you want to be sure check to see if it's BSAU108

Cheers Mark.

The fuel line is 6mm I/D.
You'll have fun changing the carb side
