After 16 1/2 years I've still got 3 out of 4 original brake hoses and never touched the master cylinder seals
They probably only do that so that they can't be sued when the lines/seals fail any time after that

Pleased I looked this post up. I'm updating a 2000 that I've bought as a winter project and brake lines are same as the chain and sprockets = original.
Didn't realise there was a two line front although had seen a 'Race Set' on WeMoto. http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/fzs_600_fazer_sp/00/picture/hel_front_hydraulic_hose_-_race_set-up/ so going for that unless alternative is suggested. Fancy stainless braided and expect has clear covering. Saved me about £25 so thanks guys.
How about rear? See some go for 1000 caliper. Is it worth the extra as only intended moderate cruising?
Thanks again for the timely post.

Go direct to HEL and tel them you are a member here for a discount.
I wouldnt bother with swapping the rear, many have but its not for better performance as you dont need it on the rear - its done more for looks

Hi. Got my Hel braided brake lines today from Sportsbikeshop. I dident know that members could ordre direct from Hel.
Anyway got them for 64 and the price in Denmark is 119.
Here is a pic of my and my brothers Fazer.

Being a bit "OCD"(OTT?) I have previously replaced ALL the rubber components in the braking system as per Yamaha recommendations. However....On removing old master cylinder components have never found any to be damaged/worn except the rubber "boot" that sits on the outside. The brake piston seals respond well to regular(at least once a season) cleaning and relube with red rubber grease.
Yamahas prices for seals & overhaul kits are extortionate but have had excellent service from Powerhouse Automotive products for a substantial saving.
Re 2 or 3 line front hose setup. I have always gone for the 2 line-fewer parts involved but make sure the routing is good to avoid touching anything going lock to lock with bars.
