braided hose brake lines

[unfazed]

Wooden feeling braided front brakes are in my experience usually a factor of not being set up properly when installed.


I've had no problems with "feel" from any of the bikes I've put braided hoses on, but bleeding them properly in the early days was a nightmare. - it was only when I realised that "patience" was one of the best tools to use, that I got it right. Also, making sure my calipers got an overhaul when I did the brake lines helped.


My Aprilia RSV came with braided brake lines as standard and the "feel" from those brakes is unbelievable compared to old rubber hosed bikes.


It's defo worth replacing rubber with braided in my opinion  (not that it carries much weight).

So you are saying hotmetal and I did not set up our brakes properly after fitting braided hoses,  :rolleyes I think not.

I have ridden more bikes with and without braided hoses, changed more brake lines and overhauled more brakes than I can remember and have found the wooden feel on every fazer I have ridden with replacement braided hoses.  :eek
If you like them fine, but I for one do not like them on the Fazer which is why I have new OEM type on my bikes.
Yet I thought the braided hose brakes on the BMW S1000rr, GSXR1000 and CBR1000RR with and without ABS great with good feel.

This is the very reason I suggest people, that if possible to ride one with braided hoses prior to fitting them to their fazer.
