Check Whether Brake Hose and Brake Pipe are Damaged
and Their Installation States
●For the motorcycle models which are equipped with ABS, there are
the following precautions:
●Removing:
Fuel tank (see “Disassembling Fuel Tank” in “Fuel Injection System
(EFI)”) and battery (see “Disassembling Battery” in “Electrical
System”).
●Check whether the brake hose, brake pipe and accessories are
corroded and whether there are cracks or leaks.
○If the brake hose and brake pipe are not properly maintained, the
high pressure inside the brake pipe will cause the leakage of brake
fluid [A] or rupture of brake hose and brake forming pipe. When
checking the rubber hose, the pipe needs to be bent and twisted.
★If it is found that there is any crack [B], expansion [C] or leakage
on the brake hose or brake forming pipe, it must be replaced.
●Tighten all the banjo bolts of brake hose.
Tightening torque of banjo bolt of brake hose: 25 N·m
Tightening torque of connecting nut of brake hose: 18 N·m
●Check the winding method of brake hose.
★If the winding methods of brake hose and brake pipe are incorrect,
arrange the brake hose and brake pipe according to the section in the
“Accessory” chapter: “Winding Method of Cable, Wire and Hose”.
