You must have has to twist the crap out of them to get them to fit. If I'm not mistaken, the lines attach to the bottom of the Brembo MC. Unless you've got an adaptor?

It was a bit tricky to get them on as there braided aswell, yes they attach to the bottom of the brembo mc

That might be your issue, you might halve kinked the line. We'd need to see a photo to judge it properly really. The lines nd to be as straight as possible.

if there was a kinked line it would firm the lever up due to restricted flow.

Aye, suppose. My money's still on the Brembo either being set up incorrectly or just being the wrong ratio with the SV calipers

egcSV650s · 30-07-17, 08:18 PM

Havent had a chance to look at the ratios yet but taken a picture of the lines and also of where the brake fluid reservoir goes into the mc looks like a leak, ive attached the photos, whats your thoughts

Hard to say, clean it up and see if it's back to that state after a few days. Lines look fine and not overly kinked to fit them.

Where abouts are you based?

Cleaned it up this morning and will see what its like in a few days, im based in Hertfordshire

Are the brakes safe enough to use on the road? Can always ride over to me for us to look them over if you like. I'm just outside Greenwich, so about 45 minutes from you (roughly)

egcSV650s · 03-08-17, 12:05 PM

Yes there safe enough, just adjusted my lever out a bit and they seem alot better really strong feel now finally. Thanks for the offer will keep you in mind if i need any help, thanks
