The colored stuff looks good for a couple months but will start to degrade, stiffen, discolor and basically just become far more trouble than it's worth. Plenty of us made the mistake of swapping when it first came out and plenty of us all went back to OEM, Tygon or other "unpretty" quality hose simply because it needs to work far more than it needs to look good.

Good idea. I did 2 skis when it first came out but ended up switching back to all OEM within a couple months. Some of it hardened up, some of it softened. Some days it turned a milky color and then hours later was back to clear. Really weird stuff.

The water line isn't near as bad but I swapped it all back to OEM hoses rather than wait for it to burn me too.

Yea I'm starting to not like the fact that a ruptured line might costs me a day or two . Also not a big fan of swimming in haha I would like to sell it and get a sj ! I only free ride (river) basically pray for fat boat wakes

I run gates/goodyear/OEM/cold fusion lines. Cold fusion's transparent reddish/pink line in 1/8" & 1/4" stays soft, not sure what its made out of, but all of our crew has had good luck with it.

Has anyone ever used the blue line that comes on the superjet as the battery over flow as fuel line? It looks exactly like the green fuel line but is blue.

Not sure I ride a Sxr "tank" 800 but I wouldn't run a acid hose for a fuel hose that's just my opinion .

How long has anybody used RKO motorsports stuff for? I've got some red for a return line on one ski for about a season and it is pretty close to the same color it started. It still feels good too.

Well dadgum. 21st century and nobody has figured out how to make pretty fuel line. Except maybe Cold Fusion. What about cooling lines?

Sorry for the thread jack but it looked like you were pretty well figured out and it seemed related
