I think all those choices are good. Yellow would be cool for a throw back

One that when you order & use the discount code offered it works. If it doesn't ,there is a refund offered.
Just good business practice...

Any hose that does not leak would be my choice. I would just leave it stock, as it won't make it any faster.

I'll take yellow for the 2026 anniversary edition, but for now, I think teal would look killer....it's just different.

We make YZF Y hose kits. I went and installer a Yellow Y kit and set of our radiators on Venditti's new 250F for him to race at Lorettas in 2 classes.

Working on Teal colored hoses for the new 2018 White/Teal YZ250F & YZ450F models.

Showed the difference between our Blue & Teal in 2nd photo.

I am surprised to see the new Teal color is not being offered on the 85, 125 and 250 2 strokes!

What's the benefit of silicon hoses? What makes them better than OEM?
Its is well known throught the Silicone radiator manufacturers and Through out the automotive industry that Silicone hoses are superior in flow and resistance to heat and internal pressure.

18 wheeler trucks, Ambulances, Police cars, Fire department run Silicone radiator hoses because they last.

In the 2013 San Diego SX 450 main event 1st turn Moto Hose rider PJ Larsen had his CRF450R header bend into the Moto Hose radiator hose. 20 lap main event and The Moto Hose did not fail saving his race.

Try that with a stock rubber hose and see how many turns it lasts.

Picking my 18 up right now. Yamaha sends the bikes with a non charged lithium battery and didnt bother to tell the dealer that they needed to purchase a special charger!!! Bummed to say the least

That’s total bullshit that your dealer did not know. I work as a service writer at a Yamaha dealership and we were all sent a bullitin that the new bike requires a new charger to charge the new batteries and that it is up to the DEALER to purchase the new charger. Sounds to me your dealer is slacking....
