Why? This hose only went because it was punctured by an add-on "crash bar" installation. Not old age...

What is a good life for these? (Don't personally know) The life is more about how many hours it's been subjected to fully hot temperatures, than number of years. My 2003 GT200 hasn't had any coolant hose issues at ~40,000 km - though it did once have a split reservoir tank.

Guilty. The Honda dirtbike in rebuilding is a prime example. I have the OEM diagrams open which link to the online seller…

I pull off a part, clean it, inspect it, then look at the price of a shiny new one and think.. 'only $4.38 for a new one..!'

Then it's… 'only $x.xx more for FREE shipping..?! Look at this new hose I don't really need!'
