Touch has improved beyond my imagination!

If you are considering purchasing a Stainless mesh hose from webike, it means that you will be doing the work yourself.
In my case, the work time was about 4 hours, assuming I take my time and enjoy my hobby.
When removing the tank, Gasoline should be removed as much as possible to reduce tank weight, but since the hose is downstream from the pump, there is no leakage even if the hose is disconnected.
In addition to the kit, all that is needed is brake fluid and a 6mm bolt spacer of about 3mm and 5mm thickness, although this is not necessary.
When removing the normal hose, I tried to loosen the 10mm flare nut from the Block on the Left Side of the Frame, but the Block moved and would not loosen. Once the Block is stuck, the flare nut wrench will loosen it comfortably and snappingly.
After bleeding air, Master Cylinder's Breeder will leave a lot of fluid inside, which will seep out later. It is important to suck the inside of the Breeder with Tissueetc. If fluid seeps out, it is easy to be mistaken for a loose fit.
When assembling the separator and blocks other than the LeftBlock, they are designated to be directly attached to the car body, but since the hose seems to have a lot of stress, we added a 3mm spacer to the separator and a 5mm spacer to the RightBlock.
After assembly, we checked the interference situation of the hose and found that LeftCaliper's hose was installed. "7" The angle of the LeftHoseBracket was bent to be close to the "left" side, and the Stress of the Separator with hose root seemed to be strong. S" character.
After a few years of use, when it is time to replace the hose, I would like to change the hose to Order and send it directly from LeftBlock to RightCaliper and to LeftCaliper with the h-type.
Finally, since the Z900RS is a modern motorcycle, I did not expect much lever touch improvement, but the touch was improved more firmly than I expected.
Stainless Mesh kits are available from several brands, but the reliability of the Swage line's Crimp construction and, above all, the slightly rugged look of the fitting are cool. View detail

Suppose Brake Fee Ing is Snap

The brake fluid has been replaced once a year, and the master cylinder and carry-over hauler have been done regularly, but the brake hose has not been replaced since purchase because OEM parts were not available and there were no problems (since 1998). (since 1998).
The Crimp part of the vehicle Hose has rusted and the decision was made to replace the part. Diversion. not "Conform" I purchased a Swage line that had a
I was able to install the Brake hose with no problems (I am a certified mechanic).
From the time I was bleeding the air after installation, it was somehow better than before. Snap and Sense." felt higher.
I did a driving test and found that the Brake lever Stroke and Brake gain is now a straighter Fee Ring than before. (I don't have a comparison car and can't easily undo this. Clearly compare the differences." I can't do it, but not only myself but also my kids who usually drive felt the difference).
Breaking performance is satisfactory, but I was dissatisfied with the condition of the installation, so I gave it 4 stars.
In the natural installation state, the hose protector did not reach the vehicle bracket (steel plate part), so the hose could not be secured. As shown in the photo, the Vinyl type was installed and secured with Tie Wrap.
If the Protector had been a few centimeters longer, I could have installed it without thinking, which is my only regret. View detail

It works too well for me.

[How is it used?
It was installed from the time of purchase on a vehicle I got used.

Was the one you received as per Image?
The mesh hose is coated with black color, so it looks like an old product. Mesh hose! The feeling is a little lessened and better.

Was the installation difficult?
Since the overall length of the product is set according to the car model, installation itself is not difficult as long as Torque management is taken care of during installation.
However, there are some parts that require some knowledge, such as the circulation of brake fluid (?), air venting in the hose, etc. If you are a beginner or not confident, ask a reliable person or shop to do this for you.

How was your experience with it?
I bought this vehicle with the intention of playing in the mountains, such as forest roads, etc. As I am not a skilled driver, the mesh hose is too direct in touch (just squeeze the brake lever and it starts to work). I almost got my grip stuck a few times....
On the Asphalt, the power of the 2nd 220cc is slowed down well. It is a reliable item that can slow down the power of the 2nd 220cc on the Asphalt.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Mesh hoseBody, Installation Instruction Manual and warranty card were included.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
No, if you compare it with Normal hose. Firmly braking power rises with little input." It's like

Point and hang of installation
Tighten the Torque Management Hose and bleed the air well so that the brake will work properly.
Even if you have purchased parts for your car, if they are not installed properly, it may lead to a serious accident.

[Availability and clarity of the Instruction Manual
The installation itself was simple and straightforward, and the Instruction Manual was easy to understand.

[Notes]
As mentioned above, make sure to install the Fluid and bleed it properly, and if you are not confident about the work, leave it to a trusted person or shop.
When replacing the hose with a mesh hose, the entire BrakeUnit should be inspected and cleaned to ensure smooth movement of all parts, which will further enhance the effectiveness of the hose.

[ITEMS TO BUY TOGETHER
2 banjo bolts (if you are on a tight budget, you can use OEM Product as it is), 4 washers (definitely replace them with new ones), brake fluid (adaptable amount), and brake pads if they seem to be worn out. If you are on a tight budget, you can use the OEM Product as it is.

[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
KDX220SR is no longer available with OEMBrake hose. Please continue the lineup for KDX220 owners. View detail
