1200 DVT Worn Front Brake Lines

Just has a look at mine and i think yours have been routed incorrectly. Their r two pipes on the lhs. 1 should route over the red mudguard. The other should be routed underboth the red and the black guards. Its the same on the rhs buts its just that cable. Trip to the dealer me thinks .

 

There's something wrong there Hyper, that routing can't be correct.

 

BMW GS has braided metal brake lines. Just an observation!

 

Hi, there is an official fix for the higher pipe rubbing on the red paint. The lower pipe should not have been placed between the red and black sections thats why there is rubbing.
Cheers

 

So do these. It's just that Ducati encase them in a plastic sleeve

 

I think the two part front mudguard on the Multi, is a shit idea, as a piece of art it looks ok, but as a mudguard it's crap, even had the rear part rubbing the tyre.
That's why I ended up fitting an Ilmberger carbon one.

 

Ask why Hyper, I'd like to read their answer.

 

I got my S in September. Just noticed my brake lines rubbing too for what it's worth....

 

I had my brake lines replaced two or three weeks ago. The dealer noted that even with correct routing there is still a strong risk of chaffing. Today I noticed the brakes are marking the fork leg:

 

the brake line clamp at the lower triple clamp should have this brake line guided well away from the fork leg

 

Thanks taskmule. I'll have a look at it at the weekend. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, and more likely, the banjo fitting on the caliper has to be roataed in such a way as to guide the brake line to loop away from the fork

 

A very good point. Thanks.
