What a game-changer this braided brake hose kit is! I was skeptical at first, thinking it would be just another upgrade that wouldn’t make a difference. But boy, was I wrong! The stainless steel braids provide an incredible improvement in braking feel – my bike now stops on a dime! And the best part? It’s super easy to install, thanks to the complete kit that includes stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers. My only question is: will they be releasing a version for other bikes besides the YZF-R3?

I’ve been searching for a reliable brake hose kit that would fit my Yamaha YZF-R3 perfectly, and I’m glad I found this one from Hel Performance. The PVC cover adhered to the braid provides excellent protection against abrasion and wear, which is essential for a track bike like mine. The brake lines are direct replacements for the OEM ones, so installation was straightforward. I love the improved braking feel it gives me – it’s much more responsive now! However, one thing that could be improved is the packaging; my kit arrived with some scratches on the banjo bolts.

The kit is complete with stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers, making installation easy and hassle-free.

I’ve always been a fan of the improved braking performance, but I was skeptical about the installation process. However, it turned out to be quite easy!

I was hesitant to spend so much on a brake hose kit, but after reading some reviews and seeing the benefits, I decided to take the plunge. And boy, am I glad I did! The braided hoses provide a more solid braking feel that makes my bike feel more agile and responsive. My only minor complaint is that the copper washers could be slightly thicker for better durability. Nevertheless, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their brake system.

What’s the best way to install these braided brake hoses? Are there any specific tools or precautions I should take?
Dee Lee –
Hi Alvin, thank you for your question! Installing our braided brake hoses is a relatively straightforward process, but we do recommend taking some precautions to ensure a smooth installation. First, make sure you have a clean and dry workspace. Next, disconnect the old brake lines from the calipers and master cylinder. Then, use a tube cutter or a hacksaw to cut the new braided hoses to the correct length. Finally, use stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers (which are included in our kit) to secure the new lines to the calipers and master cylinder. Some additional tips include wearing gloves and safety glasses during installation, using a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening of the banjo bolts, and bleeding the brake system after installation to remove any air that may have entered the lines. If you’re still unsure or feel uncomfortable with the process, we recommend consulting our installation manual or seeking the assistance of a professional mechanic.

I’m impressed with how well this kit fits my Yamaha YZF-R3. The stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers make for a secure connection. However, I wish the PVC cover adhered to the braid was a bit thicker to prevent any scratches.
