Just purchased this 5mm hose (2nd time from same seller). Make sure it'll fit your barbs if you decide to buy.

Consider this as well:

late to the game here guys, but I'm new to the kawi triples and need fuel line. Is the correct stock size for a 74' H1 5mm? The line I have on has red marks on it that state 'free flow' is this the original lines?

3/16" is easiest to find.
Stock lines are black with no writing that I can recall... 6mm

same thing happened to me on my s2a

replaced with the same clear line you did
within a year it cracked, and even worse the damn inline filter broke too

thinking about going back to the black rubber fuel line

its been holding up since 67 on my bolens tractors, should last a while on the s2a

I also got the clear, it turned yellow after a couple years and got hard as a rock. The stuff split at bad opportunities, usually while riding, and left my shoes smelling like gas for weeks. I bought some black rubber line from Advance and been running it for the last 3 years without issue......and it's still soft and comes off the spouts good. :thumbup:

I got some Tyogon line from an old kart engine builder who had a few reels of hose taking up space.
Threw a few pieces in a jar of gas and left for a week before I tried on the H2, it didnt seem to swell or get gummy, so I put it on.
Within 2 or 3 months, I noticed the lines looked tight as a drum, and were much shorter than when I installed.

The tygon got hard enough to use as an emergency kickstand!

Bought a reel of clear whatever from motionpro and it seems to hold up fine. Turns yellow, but remains in character.

Does anyone need a bunch of 1/4 ID fuel line, I have much of it! :oops:
