Brake Hoses - A Question - N A Chess - 29-05-14
Hi Al
Can anyone tell me the difference between the standard OEM front brake hoses and 'Full Length Race' ones? I have ordered the latter - they are £30 quid cheaper - but have no idea how they differ from standard.
Perhaps I should have found out before buying :rolleyes
Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - John Silva - 29-05-14
OEM are one hose from master cylinder to splitter then two hoses to callipers. 3 hoses in total.
Race setup is two hoses from master cylinder straight to the callipers. 2 Hoses in total thus cheaper than OEM
Simples

Race hoses use seperate lines from the master cylinder so if one gets damaged and leaks fluid you still have one working caliper.

I have the two line system which has done away with the cross bar section under the fairing, its quite simple rearlly as all it is - is a double banjo bolt at the master cylinder, so although it is two lines they are connected at the cylinder so wont help if one is damaged
Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - richfzs - 29-05-14
Agree with fazersharp. You would only get the one-working-caliper, if the lines were fitted with non-return valves, which obviously they can't be! So if one line is damaged, all the pressure will be released through the damaged point. No brakes is no brakes.

you could loosen a bleed nipple and test the theory
Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - SteveCardiff - 30-05-14
I stand corrected, of course one wouldn't work,that's the Stella talking
Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - SteveCardiff - 30-05-14

Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - N A Chess - 30-05-14
Thanks for all your responses - Stella ones included. :lol
Hopefully should be a doddle to fit.

It's a liquid so it's not compressible so it would work!

It's more gas than liquid. It also looks like piss, tastes like piss... Mind you I've stopped pretty fucking quickly when I've needed a piss, so maybe it would work...
Re: Brake Hoses - A Question - His Dudeness - 31-05-14
he could drink the stella and then piss in the master cylinder to remove the gas :lol
