Re: Change your brake line
I agree and disagree. Suzuki is just being overly cautious. But do the inspections regularly with every oil change.

Gotcha. I was sort of speed reading with older eyes. Also might add to your info just for the heck of it. Pull on the brake lever to increase inside pressure and look for bumps or bubbles in the line. They may not be overly noticeable with no pressure. |

Re: Change your brake line
:lol: GZ rider, sometimes I actually have a sensible thought. The only reason it came to me was due to seeing a garden hose bulge out when the nozzle was shut and pressurized the hose. And as I type this memory has surfaced. Years ago I blew up a 2 foot diameter cast iron industrial pump housing by suddenly slaming a valve closed. That was exciting. Pressurized lines can do wonders to equipment of all sorts.

I should explain the situation a bit more. Imagine a 2.5 inch steel water line a quarter mile long. Water is flowing in the pipe at a pressure of 120 PSI. The pump is at the discharge end of the pipe. Suddenly close a bypass valve next to the pump and stop the water flow. The mass and weight of the water has to go somewhere. It is called a Water Hammer for a reason. Talk about a big bang theory. |
