Hello everyone, typically it's christmas day and I am looking forward to a few days riding, when I get a good leak from rear brake line. So I need some help again. I was trying to remove the rear brake line from the master cylinder, I have replaced the line earlier with fuel line and a screw down clamp, and the plastic broke off at the master bottom. Bum I said, no one's open here today. so I'll just take the old one off the spare parts RS. Here's the problem. Both bikes had braided brake lines attached by some god awful hose clamp, like a proper hydraulic clamp that had to be cut off with pliers, and of course, I broke the other Master cylinder didn't I.
Anyway, will get a new one but would like to know how best to attach the hoses. My screw clamp was never a real success, even though there isn't any pressure in the hose. What to do?.
Any help would be appreciated. I have managed to do about 400 klm since getting the old girl registered and she goes like a rocket (ish) but would like to be able to stop.
I also found out how heavy they are when I pulled up to get fuel on a sloping drive way. I almost dropped it but managed to keep my leg straight and blow the horn until someone came out. What a goose. I'll be checking out the flat parking spots from here on in.
Hope you are all keeping warm.
