Hi all; I think I’ve got the brake line routing for the front left pretty figured out – there was only one place where the lines would actually fit – with Quality (Zen and the Art)… I’m left with two long lines that come from the left caliper and go up towards the triple tree. One of these lines has a simple, single banjo at the caliper end. The other has two banjos at the caliper end. I’m sure these lines connect to two hard brake lines just behind the triple tree neck.. One hard line is on the left of the neck and the other is on the right. Can someone please tell me which connects to what? TIA
Well I can see why that is confusing! The manual diagrams don't make it easy to figure out. From a "logic" standpoint the feed into the SMC (on upper /front end) comes from the footbrake, and the line out of the SMC (lower/rear) goes to the rear calliper centre piston, via the Servo PCV. From the diagram on 1-41 I can see that the right line comes from the rear PCV area (which is where the footbrake hydraulics lead to) and the left line leads to the servo PCV. On page 15-11 the outlet from the SMC (the banjo to the back end of the SMC) goes to the servo PCV, so that is the left of the steering head.
Excellent, just what I need! It details the front and the rear by diagram. Yes, I'm finding it very difficult to read since I'm going blind (AMD), They'll let me keep on riding so long as I can tell the difference between an elephant and a garbage truck but reading is next to impossible for me. I use ,my BIG TV as a monitor. but the more I magnify that fuzzier it gets...
