Details

What's wrong: The rear brake hose can contact the rear tire as the rear suspension moves through its range of travel.

Why it matters: 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.

The fix: 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.
