Hi all.

I fitted new bars christmas day and noticed that the bit of heat shrink on the front brake line between the clear hard and black soft hose/cover had worn through.

I bent the white brake line guide forward a bit and put some electrical tape on the top of the clear hose to stop moisture getting inside and thought nothing more of it.

Last night I was having a look in the service manual for the 09 model (which is what I have) and it shows the clutch line running above the brake line. I swapped it over after seeing this in the manual.

But (time for the question/reason for the post) I was wondering how these lines sit on every ones bike's and if you have had similar issues with rubbing hoses (And how you fixed it)?

A quick look at photos on here shows a mixture of cables routed with the clutch on top and other with the brake line on top.

Cheers

Rubbing hoses. Haven't tooken any notice of that on my KLX. Thou I do know on the left side (front brake) brake line, my GPS does rub a little on that shrink wrap on the plastic tube.

 

I moved mine a bit from stock when I fitted new bars. Don't remember how but here is the set up now. No binding on lock to lock and I can see the rev' counter/speedo' really clearly now. A small rubbing on the front brake line from the GPS cradle is now solved as I've relocated the GPS.

 

Thanks west - mine looks about the same now (minus the gps and barkbusters).

Any plans to travel to the east coast with your beast?

cheers
