Anybody who knows if this can be changed (see picture) for another regular fuel-hose, or has it to be a special thing...
I've fitted a larger airbox and therefore it's no longer long enough????

I can`t believe that you would put anything Ducati near a wall like that........................shame on you.

[rcgbob44]

By the way, any proper non collapsing fuel line, of the correct I/D is ok.

[flemse]

Ok, was in a bit of a hurry, and the wife wouldn't get but naked for the photo..

Don't worry it's not even near any ugly wall anymore...

Would the best being of getting a (plastic) tube like the original or would any fuel line that not collapse do the job.

The 916 Strada and Biposto models use 3.0 bar fuel pressure, while 916SP and Corsa models use 4.5 bar. Make sure the line that you use exceeds this rating. Even the Ducati lines reportedly split because of this.

[flemse]

Ok Thank's

Will not go for less than 4,5 bar....
