I need to replace the coolant bypass hose on my Buffalo and thought I'd replace all the hoses while I'm at it. I've noticed quite a few places sell hoses made of silicone so I thought I'd see if anyone has tried them or has an opinion about using them. I would expect that they're okay if not better than OEM rubber.
All responses, except for the really stupid ones, lol, are appreciated.

Re: Buffalo hose question
I haven’t tried them but would think they would be a notch above the stock hoses. I do have a spare set of new silicone hoses for my RZ350 but haven’t tried them on that bike either.

Re: Buffalo hose question
Standard on mine.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: Buffalo hose question
Thanks for responding. I ordered a set last night. Coming from Australia, I'm curious howl long it'll be before they arrive. Fortunately, it's going to be awhile before the temps warm up around here.
