The issue
On certain motorcycles, the front brake hydraulic line may rub against the fuel tank or speedometer cable. This may result in wearing of the brake line with the possibility of a brake fluid leak. This would impair the performance of the front brake. Correction: The brake line will be inspected and replaced if necessary. In addition, a protective sleeve and an additional clamp will be installed.
