Braided Lines... - anutz - 07-06-15
So i had a go at fitting my braided lines...and for now as i have an MOT this week have settled with my stock lines and re-bled them..
The issue i had was routing, all looked ok, but anyone have any examples of how they routed their braied lines, this being 2 piece kit, i.e. no OEM joint on the bottom yoke...
Thanks

These are crops from bigger pictures but i suppose the crucial one is the one from the master which I will have to go an take, bear in mind and allow for that when the bike is off the stand and your weight is on it too, as the forks compresses.

You'll now need to bleed them twice

Re: Braided Lines... - anutz - 07-06-15
fazersharp - that little clamp you are using 1/2 way up where they meet - where did you get that?
Re: Braided Lines... - sinto607276 - 07-06-15
:lol I was wondering how long it'd take you to ask that, I was thinking anutz doesn't have that clamp, bet that's why his lines don't look right

Re: Braided Lines... - anutz - 07-06-15
Thanks - ordered some blue ones....
Now the dilema is - leave my old ones on or put the braided ones on the night before the MOT test :lol
Suspect will leave all well alone till MOT is done, have the lever tired to the bar for a final bleed tommmorow..
Thanks for the pics and links
Re: Braided Lines... - Nebuchernezzer - 08-06-15

Re: Braided Lines... - sinto607276 - 08-06-15
Just use the best method....
Tube onto your bleed nipple, other end in a jar with a wee screw in the end of the tube and a small slit in the tube that allows the air to escape.
Re: Braided Lines... - anutz - 09-06-15
So i may have some problems with leaks from the bleed nipples.....
Am watching them but am sure there is some fluid collecting.....so i may be taking them all to bits and just put the braided lines on and re-seat the bleed nipples while i am at it.....hose clamps should be here as well...if they still weep then i shall have to see what to do...
....has anyone used or has one of these at the master cylinder, they do a double one as well....same size and pitch as the spec ones i think i.e. M10*1.25
