Anyone have success in using a normal (nonOEM) fuel line for part from tank to fuel filter? My bike would start and then die straight away. I noticed a kink in the hose, since I am not using the stock that has the u shaped bend. It has lasted a little over a year, but not sure how the kink formed. But if I try to hold the hose open by pressing the sides, fuel will flow.

Anyway, any other solutions other than stock since I have to ship to the Philippines.
 
Try fuel injection hose. Stiffer sidewall, less-prone to kinking.

If you have to make a small-radius turn, consider doing it in 1/4" steel brake line, and use good hose clamps for the connection to the hose. Those ones with the machine screw on the side of the clamp, made for fuel injection hose, won't cut into the hose like a traditional hose clamp, with its many serrations.
