But do you replace the stock hoses every four years?
No. I know I should, but the only bike I've had for longer than four years was my first Connie. I was thinking about replacing them when I wiped the bike out. It'll be on my checklist for Dudley.But do you replace the stock hoses every four years?
I went Honda OEM. Let us know what you find.My front Brakes started making some noise today. Believe that a pad separated from the backing plate. Any recommendations out there for replacements?
No, I have the same hoses on my ST1300 for 9 years and 101k miles. I do inspect the hoses whenI bleed the breaks/ replace pads, on the bike. It will be going down for a major refit here in the next month or two. Wheel bearings, fork seals, fuel hose from upper to lower tank, Drive shaft U-joint, and if I can afford it a new rear shock.But do you replace the stock hoses every four years?
I ordered Honda left and right pads(two different part numbers at the same time but replaced the left several months after the right(this was the disk that was warped and causing unusual wear) and can't say that I paid much attention to similarities or differences. Sorry.Herb, Bike Bandit has different part #'s for the left and right rotors, EBC just tells you to order two. The left caliper has an additional piston for the rear pedals combined operation. Did you see a difference when you pulled them off?
Karl both front calipers have 3 pistons. The right are all squeezed from the front master cylinder. The center piston on the left is powered from the rear brake lever.The left caliper has an additional piston for the rear pedals combined operation.
