Radiator Hoses

Jeremy said:

Does anyone have a write-up on changing out the radiator hoses? I have a leak in one of them and figure I should change them all. I have a 2009 R3T. pictures are always good as well as any tips and tricks others have had on this. I am in the United States, so any hoses that are in the states that are best to be ordered would be good.

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Jeremy I had an early blowout in mine a while back (see this thread: Blew a coolant line). I STRONGLY recommend replacing all your coolant hoses with Samco silicon hoses. They're from the UK but arrive in 2-3 days. The full set is around $150 here: https://racebikebitzusa.com/C/street-bike-hose-kits/manufacture-triumph/model-rocket/year-2009.
Don't forget to get the stainless steel clamps as well: https://racebikebitzusa.com/street-bike-hose-kits/Triumph-Rocket-3-Hose-Clamp-Kit.

appreciate the feedback, thank you.

anything on the process, or what does or doesnt need to be taken off the bike to do the replacement? Recommended coolant to reinstall?

Thanks @idk much appreciated. There are 3 different service manuals. are they all for the same thing? I am not seeing anything that dictates which one i should save.
