As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The Suzuki online parts fiche says it's part# 09352-70103-00B and they call it "Breather Hose" but it is meant to be used for 'fuel hose'.I'm sure it's the exact size I need.Do you know of another online source for this size ?
 
Motion pro has 7mm line. you can also search 7MM FUEL LINEon ebay

7MM INSIDE DIAMETER IS NEEDED

It's not hard to order from any of the online parts suppliers.

I know the price seems to be awfully expensive for you, but you get about 6 feet of hose for that price.
 
I'd go with something that's guaranteed to be newer and not New Old Stock.
I bought some NOS Suzuki fuel hose and it fell apart within a year. Not a counterfeit, as far as I know, just old stuff that had degraded at the back of a bike shop somewhere before being punted out on ebay. It came in the proper bag with ID part numbers, etc, and certainly behaved like the real thing at first, right up until it split lengthwise. I'm just glad it happened during a normal inspection and not out on the road.
Apart from degradation from age, I suspect the OEM hose wasn't resistant to modern fuels. That hose I bought could have been 30 years old.
The Niche Cycle hose looks good to me, but my next fuel hose purchase will be Tygon from Aircraft Spruce - you can be sure of what you're getting from them.
 
Apparently 7mm is the same size used in some BMW cars .... I have an 83 as well and just popped by a dealership to pick up some from a giant spool they had..... Can't remember what the cost was but it wasn't more than a few dollars .....

Sounds like a UK issue. In the USA the stock turns over much faster.

I do have some original BMW airhead fabric covered fuel line from when I work on the 70's R-bikes;I'm going to take the petcock with me to storage,see how that line fits over it.

It came from a US supplier.
The seller was unloading a lot of Zuk, Kaw and Yam stuff at the time, I suspected he was buying up NOS from dead dealers.
 
I bought oem Suzuki stuff and it was good and they gave me enough to do probably 3 bikes.

I went to dealers row down here in Lakeville. Leos south - only had 6mm. MotoPrimo - none. HD - we don't do metric. I couldn't find it at Dennis Kirk either.

Wanna share ?
