Update, installed new rubber hose & fittings. Test rode the bike last night and everything feels good, it is hard to say if the kinked line effected the bikes performance, but i will have a better idea after a longer ride. The fuel line on this bike is a bad design. Looking at the way it is positioned under the tank it almost needs a 90 degree bend off the fitting on the tank to help straighten out where it kinks. I thought about using a braided hose but the problem is there isn't enough flexibility as there is in a rubber hose and the bend is very sharp.
