Petcock Vacuum Hose Size

Does regular vacuum hose from Autozone or O'Reily's adequately hold onto the ends and fit inside the spring fine? Or does it take a special part from Suzuki?

Then again, maybe I can get another couple years service out of this hose. haha! (It looks cracked where the spring is sheering, and that might explain the hesitation when the throttle is cranked.)

One way to find out is pull the hose and spring and take it to Auto Zone with you. If they don't have "bike hose" try Ace Hardware or a bike shop. It's all standard stuff. But, I'd say ditch the stock petcock and vaccum hose and buy a Raptor.

Get the dirt bike gas cap vent tubing that is in a small pail on the counter. Silicone hose, and comes in a variety of colors.
