XJ550 Seca crank breather pipe question

My current breather pipe from the case to airbox is very stiff and difficult to keep attached to airbox. I can’t seem to find new replacements. Chacal?

Or, is there a later/different Yamaha equivalent that will work? Part number is 4g0-11166-00-00

 

If @chacal can’t get one they are used in a few other bikes

 

Its a breather pipe.... Find any hose that will fit the application and is resistant to oils. Replace as necessarry.

 

However, if it still fits and you can jam it in place, its OK just a pain in the ass

 

Getting the bends right without kinking is a trick though.

 

look at hardware lots on ebay you may find one then sell the bits and pieces

 

Try bending using hot air blower SLOWLY massaging the hose to your liking..

 

see if you can find a spring to put inside it like they do for raidiator hoses

 

The spring on the exterior or interior of the hose trick has worked for me on other bikes. As long as fluids aren't dependant on the hose having flow, your good. It's a breather.
