you can go to autozone or any car shop and buy some radiator hose that has that general shape. should cost just a few bucks.

NO No No ! Do NOT buy general ID radiator hose. Go buy the molded replacement from Yamaha. The OEM hose is molded with stiffeners to prevent the hose from collapsing at high flow rates. Using a generic hose will likely end up with the same issues as what he has now. The reason he's having the issue to begin with is that the original hose lost it's strength over time, allowing the hose to kink and collapse.
