Hello. While this isn't my first post, it's close to it -- My last one was deleted immediately for being the n00best of n00b questions.

I'm looking to replace the uggo radiator hoses on my '06 S3 1050 as my next project (poor thing's barely been in my garage a month and I've been fiddling with it constantly). It should be relatively easy, but I don't yet have a shop manual, so I thought I'd ask here.

Has anyone does this, and if so, what's the proper ID of the hoses required? Of extra help would be an idea of the lengths necessary, although that I can measure easily enough on my own.

I've been looking at Earl's Performance Plumbing hoses on a friend's advice, and they seem to have enough of a size selection that I'll be able to find stuff that fits.

Thanks!

Sounds like an interesting project. If you haven't already, take a look at mpsracing.com. They offer the earls hoses and fittings specifically for bikes. As to what sizes you need, someone might post with the info. I don't think the shop manual lists the sizes.

Just looked at the bikebandit parts fische (copy of factory manual) and it does not list sizes. You are probably going to have to measure everything yourself.
