93 KX250 front brake hose
Afterdarkmark:
Hi, this is my first post on this forum so here goes.
I'm currently restoring a 93 KX250 and ran into a problem with the Russell front brake hose I purchased for it. The elbow on the end is not the same shape as the original and so the hose does not tuck in under the fork like the original did. It hangs down quite a bit and I tend to think it's going to get ripped off in a heartbeat.
Does anyone know of a better hose out there?
Foxx4Beaver:
Have you tried dragging some of that slack "up"...looks like you got a good inch of the plastic/rubber coated sleeve below the clamp. Can that be pulled up?....without having a giant loop above the handlebars?
Foxx4Beaver:
If I remember correctly, I replaced the one on my '00 250 with a Galfer...and it was the correct length.
Afterdarkmark:
Pulling it tighter will only gain me a little. At the end of the day, the elbow is supposed to wrap a lot tighter under the caliper.
Foxx4Beaver:
Where'd you buy it from?...return it and get the correct one.
Hopefully you didn't already fill it with fluid, knowing it's not correct.
