Ok, if any of you remember my recent posts, I was in the process of getting new front brake line installed. Finally got it done today. So, while they work fine, they are not as stiff and "stopping on a dime" like they were before. The guy that helped me install them said that he all the air was out, and that they were supposed to be like that. but I know that they were certainly more tighter before... He is a certified mechanic, and I paid him... i watched him bleed the old fluid out, and install the new line, and add fluid.... im confused, do you think it could be the quality of the brake line? He said the brake line was fine, and is assuring me its how it supposed to be... It's not really that bad, if anything, it's better like this so you can actually use htem without worrying about flipping over... but I dont know, it still kinda bothers me... what do u guys think? i need some expertise here...

 

Was the replacement brake line braided steel or more like the stock one?
The stock one can expand under pressure.

Did you also replace the brake pads? If so they typically need a little time to seat them.
Have fun.

 

Very possible it could still have air in the system or a cheap non steel braded line was installed...These systems can hide alot of air...

 

Yeah he was saying how much of a pain in the *** the brakes were to bleed on klx 250s... but i watched him, and nothing but fluid was coming out, no air at all.. but like u said, maybe its still hiding some. im not sure what type of line it was... i think its exactly like the stock, though.. i got it off ebay for like 15 bucks, and hte dude said he had just got it off a 07 stock one... oh well, they are getting better now that ive rode a little bit with htem on... i really do like htem better like this, where they are not as tight..

thanks guys...
