DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 1995-11-01
Description
The rear brake hose can contact the rear tire as the rear suspension moves through its range of travel.
Consequence
The hose can abrade to the point where the hose will leak brake fluid, resulting in a loss of the rear brake. Also, brake fluid leaking onto the rear tire can impair the motorcycle's dynamic stability.
Corrective Action
Dealers will modify the hose guide and re-route the rear brake hose to insure that it cannot contact the rear tire throughout the range of suspension travel.
