My HB line runs right down on the inside of my frame, has anyone ever had any issues with the fluid inside getting too hot b/c of this? If so, did you get brake fade?

 

if u run steel braided line and keep it off the motor you should be good, brake fluid doesn't really change feel untill it boil's... try running motul RBF600 and get your line off the motor..

 

It's not touching the motor, but is real close to it so I was just curious if anyone has had problems.

 

talk to numbertwo i think he does..

 

i have my line right next to my motor.. it works fine. i used to have brake fade untill i started using rbf600 fluid! plus you might be riding the hb to much and not notice it and thats why you are boiling it... i also did that!

 

i use regular steel automotive brake line from the adapter up through the engine compartment to a short peiece of steel braided line that starts at the front of the frame ,but mt line sits right against the motor and i have never had any problems
i don't think the motor could ever get hot enough to boil brake fluid ,even the cheap stuff boils around 400 degrees and your motor should never be that hot

 

I put a @3/16in rubber line over the part of the cable that goes next to the motor, prabably not nessacery like omr said,but thats what I did.

 

i'd be suprised the the motor could get that fluid that hott

 

the rubber line will keep the steel bradied line from acting like a saw ,and thats the reason i use the auto motive brake line because for one it doesn't move much and two it is just smooth steel so if it does move it won't cut through any thing

 

mines fine by the motor...

 

me to...^^^

 

I use the motul RBF600 too, that reminds me I got to pick up some more on the way home! If your getting brake fade it's probably just from overusage or riding the HB too much heating up the rotor and pads is the only time I have any fade, or of course if you need to bleed the system. lol

 

mines fine by the motor also

 

anyone with a me three??? sounds like air bubbles or over use, my bike runs 230 all day

 

mine runs next to the motor and its fine.....well that is before i got air in my line now im just to lazy to rebleed the **** till i get my radial

 

Thanks everyone... I haven't had that problem at all, I was just looking ahead before it happens.

 

Don't let guru ride it he'll bring it back and say "you might want to let your hand brake kool down cause your **** ain't working" Na but fo real your normally just get fade when your rotors or pads get to hot

 

you just need to stop being a squid and dragging the brake.

on a serious note, am i the only one that used (i say used to because i no longer have a bike) to run a coated steel line??? i also would try to change my fluid every two weeks because i used to ride every night. i to use to run rbf600.

mines under the tank n over the motor, comes out under the subframe to the m.c. adapter

i don't use it, but that's where it is
