Trouble Spots

Some front brake hoses come into contact with the hose when the steering wheel is turn to the left due to improper wiring instructions in the electrical wiring of the horn.
Therefore, if the protective material of the brake hose is worn, and the brake hose is use as it is, the hose may be damaged, and in the worst case, the brake fluid may leak, and the braking force may reduce.
Remedy

Some front brake hose holders are not installed in the correct state due to improper bending.
Therefore, if the holder is detached due to running vibration or the like and continued to be used as it is.
The brake hose may contact the front fork and damage the hose, and in the worst case, the brake fluid may leak, and the braking force may decrease.
