Well, I have to ask, so if this is required maintenance then why do Yamaha
dealers not replace the brake lines as required maintenance every two years
if they are the only ones that service your bike? Also if you had the ABS HU
replaced under warranty or Y.E.S. plan, why weren't new brake lines required
then? I bet if you check on most bikes they also say brake lines should be
replaced at some regular interval, but have you ever seen a shop that does
all your maintenance actually do it? If like most shops I've experienced, if
you don't have a problem, they just do the basics and unless you specify it,
that probably doesn't mean replace the brake lines even though the service
manual calls for it. Best advise is bleed the brakes and change out the
fluid every 6 months or more, even if you get new brake lines. Also make
sure to run the ABS test as part of the flushing the brake line procedure.

BTW, have you replaced your brake lines according to your service manual?
Service intervals calls for replacement of your brake hoses every two years.
