Ok so the hose running from the petcock to the filter is cracked and needs to be replaced. Whats the best way to thread the new hose and is there a specific hose I need or can I just get a piece of hose thats the right size and fit it on.

The non reinforced fuel hose is used on quite a few bikes so probably is available from most big bike shops. You can't use the reinforced hose because there is not enough room to get it onto the fuel inlet at the carbs.
Have a search here there was a thread recently about where to run the fuel line

Fuel Injection model ??, so to fuel pump ??, i'd say it would have to be re-enforced fuel line to suit the application, but as I have no experience with the fuel injected model I'm not too sure, it's usually 5/16" fuel line

Ah Ha it's a ZN1300 so please disregard my post.
Yes it's is a good idea to use the right hose and reinforced hose would be right.
Any good auto store should be able to supply you with fuel injection hose for external use.

Lol yeah its fuel injected. I ended up finding the correct hose from partzilla.com hopefully by friday itll be here. Had the bike a few weeks and havent even been able to really start her lol
