aka red Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have a gas gas. Recently de-coked the piston because of really bad pinking. So to do this I had to remove the radiator and all the hoses, but after riding it for the first time today, I noticed a few of the connections where leaking. Any ideas as to how I can get them to seal again?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz229 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 If you put the original crimp type clips back on and they now leak I would suggest swapping them out for jubilee clips maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazz229 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 One or two of mine leaked after refitting them. I did try to crimp them a little tighter but ended up swapping for jubilee clips. Mines an 02 mind so they are a little worn I guess. And if I'm honest although they don't look as neat and tidy as the originals I prefer jubilees cos I know exactly how tight they are after I fit them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
