Anyone change the radiator hoses?

[FB400]

I have almost 22k on them now.

Leaving for a trip to the Dragon in September and a crappy $15 part gone wrong could really ruin the day.. so the obvious thing is to change them out. I know that

- Just wondering at what mileage interval have you guys changed them

- Also, I see 2 large hoses but are there more hoses you maybe have to dig to get to?

I have 31k on my bike and all hoses are original.

About 4 years ago I changed all coolant hoses. If I remember correctly there are 8 hoses in total. Just preventive maintenance, they will get quite stiff as they are constantly exposed to UV light in addition to the engine heat. I have about 85K miles right now and I will change them all next year if I still own the FZ.

EDIT:

2 years ago, 9 hoses, 1 gasket.
