That's really with this brake line stuff? The question I have with all the
bikes I've owned I can't recall any Ducati, BMW, HD and Yamaha stating that
brake lines should be replaced every two years. You can bet that if the HD
crowd saw this in print many would do it no questions asked and would be very
well known of. I know of 30 year old HD's and other brands around that have
not had brake line problems or replacement schedules. So why is it on this
Yamaha that it is "recommended"? I have not heard of any other type of Yamaha
bikes having this. Or do all the people that own other types of bikes don't
notice or don't care or it isn't needed. If it isn't needed so what. Could
it be that Yamaha knew of the ABS problem and started this brake line stuff
to cover their butts with some excuses that if you didn't do it then they
wouldn't fix the HU. If brake lines are so bad then they should be replacing
them. How many out there have been riding for nearly 100,000 miles on a GTS
been doing so without having brake line failure? Have you folks been
replacing them? Where they really bad? Is this a real problem or just a
Yamaha parts marketing ploy? Has anybody that has real good contacts with
Yamaha tech people really pressed the question on this service schedule?
