XP 787 Cooling line sizes and length :)

[Rosie2514]

Hey guys, away from my ski so cant physically look but im gonna order all new silicone cooling hose and was wondering if anyone knew the length and size of all hoses needed. I think the head cooling line size is 1/2 inch but also need the line sizes for the cylinder drain lines and for the regulator.


Thanks guys

You can get the ID's from the parts diagram they're in mm convert them to sae using google, measure the length's from your old lines. I know the main cooling lines are 1/2".

My 95XP 800 is in the back yard under a tarp with about 1' of snow on it.

Thank Lou! always appreciated.
Wish i was home to get the lengths though:/

Here is what I had from my GTX, the lengths will be slightly longer then what you will need because of the bigger ski but it will give you an idea.



This pictures shows what I call the cylinder drain in the picture above.

Kicker, can I ask where you sourced the silicone tubing? Every where I look it's pretty expensive.

Got Em at McMaster Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/121/320/=w0z9p9
$1.78/ft for the 1/2"
$1.24/1/4"
You probably can find it a few bucks cheaper elsewhere, but for me I just bulk buy along with other items all at the same time.

Got mine off flea bay. I've got the rest to finish the job when I get some time

Ive been looking for the right hose for two days now lol
I want the shiny blue look but cant seem to find the right. Are you all using silicone Vacuum hose or silicone Heater hose?
Do you need to used reinforced or will regular silicone work?

 

[Rosie2514]

I would think most would use reinforced.. might be wrong though. Cant seem to find the right place to buy it lol .I see it all over eBay but just dont know ,

Black.....original......straight from 96, works like a charm. I know, that's not what the cool kids run.

Yea yea racer, I know your all about the OEM, all the way to the hoses lol
Well besides fuel hoses

 

[racerxxx]

No, I'm cool with the small water lines. I just don't get changing the black ones to silicone. We're not even in the heat range. They need to move water from point A to point B. The black original stuff works great and I'm surprised off it would actually fail, that's all.

Purely cosmetic racer, I'm not even going to try to tell you for any benefit.

 

[racerxxx]

I'm all about the aesthetics you know that, but the black matches my color schemes perfectly, lol.

The silicone is smoother so it should increase the velocity of the water adding at least 10HP.

 

[Rosie2514]

Yea mikidymac, I thought the same!
