Genuine fuel pipe shrinkage.

Hi.
Just refitted the fuel tank to my S2 after some winter work. The 2 year old original Kawasaki supplied rubber fuel pipe is now hard and shrunk and not long enough to reach the tap despite only using premium fuel + additive. Looks like I'm going to move to something reinforced. I don't remember rubber fuel pipe deteriorating quite as quick back in the day but the clear stuff did.
