Brakes
Hi All
I have a 2010 660Z and the brakes have always been a bit soft and lacking in any feel. I want to replace the brake lines with braided lines and to replace the levers with stubby ones (I had to shorten the standard ones to fit aceribis brush guards on the renthals that I have fitted). Can anyone recommend a good place to get all these from? Cheers Rich |
I've used HEL, you have a couple of options for the front (dual lines or Y-line) they are good guys and the hoses have worked well.
Another option is Venhill - others have used these. There are numerous short lever solutions, form cheap Chinese type to ASV's. I opted for the ASV's, but the din't do a set specific to the Tenere, so it was a brake lever from one bike and a clutch from another that fit - they probably have this sorted by now though as many people have changed levers. |
Excellent, thank you. I will look into it and get it sorted.
Cheers Rich |
+1 For Hel brake lines - available
here
I got myself some eBay stubby CNC levers for less than �20 for the pair - delivered! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SRB-CNC-Br...item4854bd5836 Fit perfectly and of excellent quality. You've got to watch the ordering process and get it just right or you'll end up with the wrong levers. All the relevant information needs to be added as a note at the checkout stage. You will need to state exactly (for the XTZ)... 1x Suzuki - GSXR 600 1997 - 2003 Clutch lever 1x Yamaha - FJR 1300 2004 - 2008 Brake lever I want the lever in XXX color I want the adjuster in XXX color I want short/long levers |

Seriously though, if you say what you want you will get it about 7-10 days later. |
How did you work out is was a brake lever off one bike and a clutch off the other that fit?

I am in the process of ordering the levers of E-bay. Too good an opportunity to pass. I will then get some Hel lines as the brakes are a spongy as anything!

If not changing the fluid (which you'll do anyway with new brake lines), at least bleed them and top up. New lines do make a small difference, the brakes have a more positive feel to them over the OE setup. But I don't recall the OE setup being particularly spongy |

The brakes I think feel spongy as I can't remember what they felt like, I have a feeling they have always been a bit soft. They need to be used to get rid of any crud that's built up as well so I can't be too accurate until a good long run has taken the film off them. New brake levers ordered though! |
