Radiator hoses

Select your motorbike

The radiator hoses are essential components of a motorcycle's cooling system. They ensure the transfer of coolant between the engine, radiator and coolant reservoir. The hoses efficiently channel the coolant through the various parts of the system, allowing heat dissipation and proper engine temperature regulation.

Why are motorcycle radiator hoses important?

Radiator hoses play a fundamental role in the proper operation of the cooling system and therefore in protecting the engine from overheating. Here are the main reasons why they are essential:

  • Efficient coolant transfer: The hoses ensure coolant circulation between the engine and the radiator, providing optimal heat transfer and rapid heat dissipation.
  • Resistance to heat and pressure: Radiator hoses are designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by the engine while resisting the pressure of coolant circulating at high speed.
  • Flexibility and ease of installation: The hoses are manufactured to be flexible and easy to handle, allowing straightforward installation and precise fitment to the various cooling system components.
  • Durability: Thanks to reinforced materials, modern hoses offer improved resistance to wear, leaks and deformation, ensuring a longer service life.

Our hoses are manufactured using high-quality materials that provide excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance. The silicone construction is specifically designed to withstand pressure, heat and vibrations, ensuring enhanced durability and long-lasting performance.

 

When should radiator hoses be replaced?

Over time, radiator hoses can deteriorate due to heat, pressure, vibrations and exposure to chemicals. It is important to inspect them regularly to prevent engine overheating issues, typically after 30,000 to 50,000 km, depending on the motorcycle model and riding conditions. If the hoses are more than 5 to 7 years old or have been exposed to extreme temperatures, regular inspection is strongly recommended. Here are some signs that indicate radiator hoses may need replacing:

  • Cracks or splits: The rubber or silicone material may crack due to high temperatures and repeated heating and cooling cycles.
  • Visible damage: Coolant leaks or signs of coolant escaping from the hoses indicate that they are damaged.
  • Loss of flexibility: If the hoses become hard and lose their flexibility, this may indicate that the material is aging or hardening due to heat exposure.
  • Deformation: A hose that changes shape or swells under pressure is often a sign of weakening and should be replaced.

 

How do you replace motorcycle radiator hoses?

Replacing radiator hoses is a relatively straightforward operation, provided the correct procedures are followed:

  1. Switch off the engine and allow it to cool: Before starting any work, ensure the engine is completely cool to avoid burns from hot coolant.
  2. Drain the coolant: Open the radiator drain screw to empty the cooling system.
  3. Disconnect the damaged hoses: Identify the hoses to be replaced and carefully disconnect them while noting the coolant flow direction.
  4. Clean the connections: Clean the radiator and engine fittings before installing the new hoses.
  5. Install the new hoses: Secure the new hoses using suitable hose clamps and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
  6. Refill the cooling system: Fill the radiator with fresh coolant and bleed any air from the system.
  7. Perform an operational test: Start the engine and verify that the cooling system operates correctly and that there are no leaks.
