FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

So yesterday morning I was headed down my driveway went use my backs and wouldn't ya know I have no pressure. My dog chewed through my brake line. Awesome. What a way to start the work day. So I ordered a complete blue dot setup from eBay today for $80 shipped. Not a bad deal. They're a bolt on upgrade right?

I also have yzf cylinder and pistons coming too. I found a place where I live that will bore my rod ends for $120 give or take depending on how long it takes once they set up.

The blue dots should bolt right up - yes. Adding stainless steel brake lines will yield the absolute best results.

Yeah, you won't have to worry about your dog chewing through them!

Yeah. Ss lines is on the list. I need gaskets for my 660 build and new fork springs unless I can get a yzf front end cheap enough.

Is your Dog alright? Brake fluid is poisonous stuff, like anti-freeze I think.

Strange that your Dog would chew through your brake line. Usually they go for your hand-grips or the seat. You know... The parts that have your scent or sweat on them. You been eating chili dogs while sitting on your bike & drip some on the brake line?

The SS braided lines are the best, for improved brake feel. Once you try a set you won't want to ever settle for anything less again. I have a set on my pick-up truck & it made for a huge improvement.

Good luck

Sounds like a rottweiler I used to own. He was a complete meat-head for the first 2-3 years, then he became a good dog. He would chew on anything & dig holes everywhere.

PS. Check with "ThatKid" above on the SS lines. He sells nice stuff at a good price & he's fast on the shipping too.

The Blue Dots Calipers are a directly bolt-on. It gives a much nicer look, and a better stoppene power. If you are willing to use a bit extra money, the '99-'02 brake cylinder firs aswell and is much more powerfull han the standart mastercylinder. You will be needing to make a few changes to the resorvoir holder since it does not sit under the fairing, bit it's a easy modificarion.
By the way, you Will also be needing new brakepads since the FZR brakepads do not fit the Blue Dot Calipers.
