Replacing all carb hoses 1992 Yamaha Pro 50 TLRQ

[Surfin' Elvis]

Thinking ahead for winter maintenance...
I just acquired a '92 Pro 50 and am not sure when the fuel pump/carb hoses were last replaced.
It seems kind of pricey to purchase individual fuel pipes from a dealer when it seems I could buy a few feet of hose and use the removed hoses as a template and cut my own.
Does anyone have any information on available pre-cut kits or a link to where I can find the correct ethanol-resistant tubing?
Thanks in advance.

The factory ones are preformed to fit without kinking/binding.
I would stick to using them.

have you took a few off to inspect them to see if they need replacing?

Thanks...good advice. What are some inspection tips? Are there obvious signs of decay/cracking? When I removed the hoses to clean the carbs, most of them felt soft and flexible.

just look for condition of hoses inside and out.
finding small pieces inside the carb bowls would make me wonder what it was coming from

Maybe just buy a couple of feet of the correct fuel hose from your Yamaha dealer and replace them so you'll feel more confident about them?....
