FZS600 Fazer / Re: Braided Brake Line failure?

Cheers for that darrsi, this is why the forum is so useful. I'll have a look at them both again later. The one that is "loose" has scratched the inside of the caliper, so that's what made me thing it was "wrong", but if both of yours have play then it sounds like this is the norm.
I did a really thorough clean on the discs and the juddering seems to be gone (or very reduced), so it may have been something simple like the new pads leaving a build up of material in one place (or it could have been taking them out and putting back in, greasing). I will try a harder stop on the way home tonight to see if I can get it to do it again. I'm going drop new pins in anyway, and will do the hoses soon so will see how it goes.
either way, the pad and fluid change made a massive difference to the braking - I couldn't understand why everyone raved about Fazer brakes when I first got the bike!
