 Factory teams always have an huge advantage of $$$$ and being able to run things that are not available to the public….. until now!

Little sneak peak …….

The NEW Moto Hose 2024-2025 KX450 / KX450X Works Y Hose Kit includes: 2 - one piece Silicone Y hose with 3 ends. One Y hose eliminates the stock steel cross over tube running all the way to the water pump like the Factory Team. The second Y hose moves the temperature sensor to the cylinder like the factory team uses. 2 -  Anodized Aluminum fittings, Hose Clamps, Gas Cap and Radiator Overflow Hose.

Colors: Green, Blue, Red and Now Purple!

As of right now our NEW Purple kits will not include a gas cap and overflow hose.

Decision haven’t been made yet for anodizing color but its down to Gold and Blue.

 

If you have been paying attention to what the Factory KTM/Hus/GAS 250 teams are using you have seen they are running a Y hose.

We have been working on a NEW design Works Y Kit for:

KTM 2022 -2024 (2025?) 250 SX-F-FE Factory Edition, 2023-2025 250/350 SX-F XC-F 2024-2025 350 EXC-F

Husqvarna 2022-2024 (2025?) FC 250 Rockstar Edition, 2023-2025 FC/FX 250/350 FE 250/350

GASGAS MC 250F Factory edition 2023-2024 (2025?), 2024-2025 MC250F/350F

Not a peak yet but also available soon is the NEW better flowing Y Hose design Works Y Hose kit for the 250/350 similar but not the same design as the big $$$$$ Hard Parts Y kit that has 2 radiators to move the fitting angles around to use the older year Y design hose.

Moto Hose NEW Y Hose design still uses the stock radiators making it a much more reasonable $ price!

Colors: Orange, Blue, Red, White, Yellow and NEW Purple!

We are expecting to do our final test fit just to see if any minor trimming needs to be performed and take pictures of all of our kit colors in the next 2 weeks in time for them to be available for Loretta Lynns.

We are looking for someone local at ClubMX, South of The Border, Rock Hill Powersports or the Charlotte area with a 2024 KX450 for the test fit and receive a free set. We have also heard that a local Kawasaki Rep has one.

For the quick look check in the Vital MX Pit Bits at the 2024 SX or Outdoor Nationals for the Factory Kawasaki team KX450 that runs a similar design Black silicone Y hoses with stock OEM aluminum fittings. The Moto Hose Works Y Kit will look about the same but our Y Hose colors are Green, Blue, Red and Purple (no black) with either a Gold or Blue anodized aluminum fittings.

This our version 1 Y hose kit on Michigan John Grewe’s 2024 KX450 

The Works hose is longer eliminating the in line temperature sensor moving it back on the cylinder like previous model KX’s

What kind of dumbass at Kawasaki thought of putting the sensor inline of the hose? 

That guy should be fired

We have some Good news and some bad news about the NEW KX450 Works kits.

We had already detected a miscalculation on the water pump fitting not holding the O ring down as far as I would have liked it to so a correction was already being done before CNC production.

The good news is we are making the fittings in the titanium color that so many had requested. The gold and blue just didn’t look as good as I thought they would with the purple hoses so it was the time to change them in production.

The bad news is the aluminum parts will not arrive here as quickly as we were expecting and to complicate it even more because we are headed out to Pueblo Colorado for an international Newmar RV get together we will be closed down from next Friday until returning August 8th or 9th.

Another good news is we have receive more models Purple hose kits today so will post more pic later

Forgive my ignorance, but what are the benefits of aftermarket hoses?

Good question.

Simple answer is Moto Hose Silicone Radiator Hoses are rated at 130 PSI and 360 degrees before failing. 

A Moto Hose Silicone radiator hoses can withstand much higher temperatures and internal pressures than a stock rubber hose can. Silicone is a much better material for a radiator hose. Ambulance’s, police cars, fire vehicles, 18 wheelers use silicone radiator hoses because it is a much better material.

The newer KTM/HUS/GAS 250/350 are constantly melting through the stock rubber hoses from the header. Exhausts are brutal on melting through a rubber hose. Stock Plastic Y hose fittings can and do melt too.

The Stock rubber hose melts from being so close to the exhaust.  Moto Hose tries to keep the silicone hose far away from the pipe as we can.

@lumpy790  any chance you will make black hoses for the Factory KX450 set up?  Already on board with the new hose set up, but prefer the neutral black look.  Maybe I’m the odd man out!

Made that mistake several years ago and unless the model is an old ATV 98% are still sitting on the shelf so not making that mistake again.
