Which silicone hoses do you run?

I have an extra red set of Samco's I would sell. I originally wanted blue, got sent red, shipper sent a pair of blues and told me to keep the red set.

If you look through Tinken's content in this site you will find the explanation is: "To remove flow restrictions"

So, what are the advantages and cons of removing flow restrictions, I mean, why then these bikes have a thermostat if it does not help to the flow?

Give your bike a thorough warmup w/o thermostat especially in cold climates. They don't necessarily hold a lot of fluid but cold radiators can prolong engine getting to temp. That's the downside. The upside is better flow with less potential restrictions/possible sticking/failure and simpler routing.

* Even with my old air cooled motors with external oil coolers, I would place a hand on them and make sure they were getting to temp before rolling.

Advantages: better cooling.
Disadvantages: takes longer to warm up.

And for your second question: Because they are street legal bikes and that comes with many strings attached (tailpipe emissions, noise emissions, etc....
Look at the off-road only version and try to find the thermostat there.......

Can somebody tell me the difference in the 2008 te and tc hoses ?

Was looking at the pro factory ones , and it looks like it deletes the coolant t , but it only says its for the tc .

I think those are what I got. You mount them as if a tc. On the Te, means moving some wires that are stuffed in the frame area to allow the hose to route through. I also spliced in the temp sensor. Most hoses people have been buying are tc hoses. Samco is the only one making Te hose kits but they are cut for the thermostat too and route as stock.

I used the pro factory hoses on my 2012 TE310 and they were marked TC250. Fit fine and deleted the thermostat which I preferred. Also call them, the owner is a stand up guy out of Oklahoma and will not screw you over. I ordered hoses for my FE501 and they didn't fit. He paid return shipping and promptly refunded my $. We also worked together on the phone to improve the hose fitment to benefit future customers. Great guy! Can't say enough good things about him. It's been a while since I've talked to him. I forget his name but Sam maybe? I have no affiliation and don't get any discount, just a happy customer.
