Found some cheap Goodridge hoses on eBay for an FZR400. I'm hoping they'll fit the 250 so I think I'll order them an try them. Delighted to find them as I was expecting them to pay twice as much, then there would've been the hassle of figuring out what lengths to order when changing from a 3-hose front set up to a 2-hose. http://cgi.ebay.ie/Goodridge-Braide...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262 On the subject of brake lines, anyone know what the purpose of the spring around the rear brake line is?
spring can be changed for different feel of the rear brake, some racers will put stiffer springs on the rear brake, so as to not lock up the rear, but keep the feel.
Usually either to protect from damage, or if used where a hose bends, to increase the distance over which the bend occurs (bending radius) thus reducing chance of fractures and breaking.
how did u go with the 400 lines okee. did they fit ok. i was thinking about doing the same thing myself.
ok thanks, it would have been good if they did ay. hey to go to a 2 hose sett up, all i would need is the longer twin hose banjo bolt up top and jus get rid of the splitter. would i be correct.
Yep, that would be the way to go if you can figure out what lengths you'd need. I think that there should be some slack in them to prevent the hoses limiting suspension travel.
Yup. If you get a bleeder double-banjo, it'll make life a LOT easier, especially if you replace the bleeder screw with a speed-bleeder (check valve inside the screw; you don't have to crack/squeeze/snug each and every time). Trying to get the air out of a plain double-banjo is NOT fun...
A standard (non-bleeder) banjo is what you have on the bike right now - the innards are all drilled and machined, but the head is sealed. A bleeder banjo bolt is drilled and tapped at the head to allow the fitment of a bleeder screw (like you have on the caliper), allowing the air trapped in the bolt head to be bled. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.targa-acc.com/cgi-bin/products.cgi?name=upc_code&value=11-993-32S&format=3">http://www.targa-acc.com/cgi-bin/produc ...

o ok that makes sense. thanks, that would most certainly be a good idea. brake lines might have to wait for a while as i am saving to get new rotors. i'm just gunna get Metal Gear rotors they should be bout 299 each i'm hoping
