2013 Super Tenere 21000 miles how often do you replace radiator hoses? Thermostat? Hose Clamps?

I was planning a trip in a few months and want to go through the bike replace all fluids and check every thing over.

Went to order radiator hoses from partzilla and they are on back order with no eta.

Thanks

Mike

2013 with 21000 miles your hoses will probably last alot longer i bet most on here with over 1000000 miles are still on orig hoses

Flush the cooling system out and call it a day, no need on replacing hoses and clamps.
Throw in a thermostat while you have it out as you need to pull it to flush the system anyways.

Ive only needed to replace the thermostat on two bikes, they both had way over 100K on them.

Flushing the coolant once in awhile is important. (use the correct fluid)
