Front brake hose - routing

[mattster]

Hey folks, can anyone with a 2 hose front brake setup do me a favour and post up a pic of how you've routed the hoses from the master cylinder down to the calipers?

Mine have been on for a while now and work fine, but I've a feeling they're not quite right....

Cheers!

No pic I'm afraid but I have (sitting on the bike) the left one's banjo closest to the M/C then it runs behind the forks, through the pipe clamp & onto the calliper. Right pipe just runs behind the right fork & through the pipe clamp onto the calliper.

Hope that helps.

Master cylinder


One leads down to the left


And one to the right


I haven't got a pic of the actual routing down through the fairing but there's not many options.

Wait....hold on, this may help.

Cheers mac, at the calipers themselves, are the banjos attached with the hose end pointing up or down? ie, does the hose go in a downward direction to the banjo, or does it go down, then loop back up to the banjo?

Hope that makes sense!!

Carl - that's perfect thank you!

Aye, think I need to adjust mine...

Banjo up, hose up. You don't want any loops at all, air can get trapped.

IMO the hoses should go behind the forks. the standard ones do after all.

Just make sure you don't route them behind the triple clamp as they can get pinched between it and thew frame if you do...... and then bad things happen......

Well done for using P clips

hi guys,

A question regarding the master cylinder.

Did you have to cut off the branch that extends out from where the banjo's connect?

When I connect the hoses one of them sticks out towards the front and catches the clocks on full lock.

cheers

I cut mine off to help better fitting :-)

That's what I thought but didn't want to butcher it if I had the hose in the wrong place to start with. Better to be safe than sorry [WINKING FACE][THUMBS UP SIGN]
