Title: Re: Brake caliper piston diameter Post by Kropatchek on 11/08/04 at 05:33:22 Suzuki's advice is to replace the rubber hose every 4 years. Mine has the stainless steel braided brake line. Cannot tell the difference as I have not felt the brake with a rubber hose. Steel hose can be had in Holland for around 40 Euros. Greetz Kropatchek |
