Which fuel line to use?

[DimitriT]

Can someone provide a vendor and specs for the correct line to use? This is on a 82 GS550LZ.

Your favorite Suzuki Parts House or PartsOutlaw.com; Yes, getting the stock hose for sale is the best option and you'll have enough left to do it again later when/if you want

The OEM seems expensive, until you see that you get around 2 1/2 feet of it.
I use it on all of my bikes
It's the correct ID and OD, and doesn't require clamps

Motion Pro fuel line without even thinking about it.

I've used Gates fuel line from Autozone before and it lasts for about 2 years,the size is 3/16"/5.5mm for a small motorcycle I had.
The junk they're putting in fuel at the pumps really does eat-away at the rubber.. Oem will last.

Looks like the OEM spec is 7mm ID and 10.2mm OD - you can probably get away with 1/4" ID line as 7mm is about .275" - it would be a bit tight.

What do folks think of silicone rubber clear lines?

It's a long time ago but I remember my 750 matched up with a BMW car fuel line which was convenient because there was a dealership across the street.... Can't remember what I paid but I do remember it was the cheapest thing I ever bought from a car parts department ......

Hi Cipher, where did you purchase OEM fittings from ?

I'm also in Canada and am wondering if you have any recommended retailers for parts ?

Would #19 on this be the Fuel Line and #30 be the Vacuum Line ? Trying to order OEM from Partzilla ...

Unless you're looking to win a prize at the Councours De Snoot Rally just walk into an auto parts store with your old one and ask them to cut off a piece of rubber gas line in that size, probably cost you less than a buck.

The gas line available at the local auto parts store is too big to fit properly. Buy the proper hose from Suzuki and be done

Yebbut, beware buying new old stock fuel line, even though it might be genuine.
I did that a few years ago and it fell apart within a year.
