  • Spring clamps for fuel lines

    Hi Guys,

    I recently changed my fuel lines to tygon lines (1/4" id by 5/16" od). I tried the 3/16" id lines first as suggested but they were too much of a struggle to get over the fittings. The 1/4" id lines fit fine but after a few rides they loosened up a bit. They are not falling off or leaking but when I park the bike in my garage after riding it you can smell gas. Do you know where I can purchase the spring type clamps that will hold the lines on? I bought some lawnmower type ones in the autoparts store but they did not fit properly. I guess I could use small plastic zip ties in the interim but I cannot find those oem type clamps anywhere. They are about the diameter of a paper clip.

    Parts-N-More has what you need.




    If you're using Tygon fuel line from Motion Pro, I believe it's the 10mm size that you need. Going through my stash, I have 10mm and 9mm, so I'm not positive on the size. They're $2 for a package of 10.

    To find them select XS1100, then CARB, then UNIVERSAL under FITTING.

    or
