Alright, well not everywhere. I haven't ridden my GS in a couple of weeks because my battery has been drained. I finally charged it up last night and put it back in. Started up great. I then look down to the left side of the bike and I see fuel squirting out of the side. I inspect if closer and my fuel lines are all cracked and shot. I obviously need to replace them.
I did some searching and saw something that pointed to Kerry's Fuel Routing or something, but I can't find the post.
Anyone care to help me out and tell me what size/type of fuel lines I need to get and/or a written tutorial/pictorial on how to fix it all.
Thanks in advance.
I just replaced mine, I got Tygon fuel lines. They're translucent yellow so you can see the fuel in them. I'm pretty sure you want 1/4" ID tubing for a pre 2001 bike. Try here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#tubing/=31nfxg
There are two lines from the tank to the fuel petcock, and one line from the petcock to the carbs.
If you go to an OEM parts website and look for the fuel lines, a pretty good diagram comes up.

That's a good pic for 89-00 but 01-02 are different, lines cross. The 04 and later have a third different fuel selector valve.
