Removed the Goodridge black covered braided brake lines from the 600 and put back the genuine Yamaha ones. Never liked the wooden feel of the braided ones on the fazer. Yet I have ridden many bikes Gixxers, Fireblade an S1000rr and GS1200s with the same type of lines and they felt fine, but on the fazer they gave no feedback just felt wooden. Just back now after a run with the Yamaha lines back in and the feel is back as it was originally Any one want a set of Goodridge brake lines black covered 3 line type with stainless fitting for the FZS600, £50 incl. postage and they are yours.

Funnily enough, I love the braided lines on my FJ 1200 and also the feel through my RSV brakes is fantastic - but you're not the first person I heard say they can make brakes feel wooden - that's exactly what friends have said when fitting them to a couple of Kawasaki's, a VFR 400 and a couple of GSXR's. Time will tell !!!
Hey unfazedJust so happens i remember millitant i believe talking about Aprillias or maybe i seen it online but apparently back brakes are a known foible with Aprillias and they are next to useless and require very regular bleeding.

Noggyfighter passed its MOT with flying colours.The tester said that despite being crashed it was a clean bike. Looking around at some much newer bikes in the shop confirmed this.So i now have a summer biking pass Get some practice in before being a thou rider next year.......akin to being a wring raith!
