Sigh, anyway in a complete moment of utter stupidity. I was tryuing to adjust the tank and pulled the short fuel line ( attached to the quick disconnect from the pump @ the tank. Idiot. WHy does KTM make this line so short , though thats no excuse at my idiocy. What kind of fittings can I use to replace the clamp type fittings used here ? Plus is it ok to have a slightly longer line then the measly 4 " provided by KTM?
Thanks

You can probably get away with longer hose if you can find some same size, those clips cost pence from ktm and you just need to crimp them on, easy.
Just get yourself a standard worm drive hose clamp. Better than those POS OEM clamps.

If you do decide to replace the line (I personally wouldn't recommend it) make sure it's rated well above the pressure the fuel system is providing to the injectors.
make sure any new fuel line you get is for fuel Injection ! pressurized .
Don't know what you done but on my bike that line is plenty long enough?!?
I guess the note gives it away....
As stated use hose for fuel injection and a proper hose clip (screw type) will do.
Get rid of the stupid airbox while you there then there is plenty of room. A CPR or motohooligan will do.
