Stainless steel braided brake lines - Bang for the buck?
Did the sumo wheel conversion on the 2010 KLX250S and the front end just really needs some attention now. I installed weight appropriate springs already. Didn't have the $ at the time to do re-valving. For on and off-roading, is going with braided brake lines a good mod or should I just save up some dough for a re-valving?

I'd say a revalve is higher on the list than SS lines.
The suspension needs more improvement than the brakes, IMHO.
SS lines definitely improve brake feel and possibly increase braking power, but I never had a problem stopping w/o them, they are just a nice upgrade.

Speed bleeders are great & only $7 a go!

A good deal for some, but for me that would have been $63 considering I have four bikes with disc brakes. Plus the vacuum bleeder can be used on the truck too.
Back to the stainless line benefits, I have a stainless line in the garage for the 250 front brake, but right now it's a light two finger brake - I can virtually stand it on its nose with two fingers. I'm surprised it is that good with the stock line, although the 650 wasn't too bad either.
