HEL Steel Braided Brake Lines Install | Yamaha R6

My Yamaha R6's brakes have been feeling awful recently with rubber hoses so today we're installing Hel steel braided brake lines in translucent red to transform the braking performance.

1:47 i can confirm that my 2017 R6 came with stupid rubber brake lines... such a pity since it wouldn't be that expensive for them to put on some steel braided ones stock

User manual says to replace the rubber brake pipes every 4 year, so they remain relatively stiff. However once you change to steel pipes you'll immediately notice if you sit back on a bike with rubber pipes. For example I have the steel pipes on mine, and a few weeks ago I tested the 2018 MT-10 and MT-09 and both have rubber pipes, and the whole brake-feeling was just so bumpy. I felt like the brakes are not precise enough. So yeah, if anyone asks me the steel braided pipes are must haves :)
cheers

24 years on OEM rubber lines, no problems here but I will upgrade them this year.

Should have just drained all the fluid from the system so that you can have air brakes :O

Bleeding dry system is easier when done from bottom up. Attach a hose to to caliper bleeder valve and use a syringe to push fluid upwards. You don't have to do it perfectly, just enough so the system is primed with brake fluid. After that bleed the brakes conventionally.

i was thinking of getting them on the 2018 cbr500r of mine just for the hell of it, the brakes on the cbr usually gets the worse opinons that theyre weak so i might give that a go, its a single front brake disc as well so it shouldnt break the bank.

Here's a little tip for anyone trying to thread either a new Break Line or Clutch Cable (more applicable to clutch cables but whatever).

Once you have your Clutch cable detached at both ends, use a Cable Tie or "Zip Tie" to tie one end from your old to one end of your new cable together, then simply just pull, gently swaying back and for to give it a bit of a wiggle, the cable will follow your new cable perfectly through all the cracks, gaps, holes and crevices that are in the way without having to remove fairings or other parts of the bike. Just bare in mind that you may have to still remove a small metal clip that is often used to keep all your wiring together however, this generally is accessible and takes little effort to remove and replace. 👍 ♥

Just a side note this may not be applicable to ALL bikes, I know for a fact that it works with Yamaha, Kawasaki, Triumph (Daytona models), KTM and Aprilla however I can't be sure about Ducati or Harley.

Anyway I hope this helps some people.

It's not complete until you put a Brembo RCS19 master cylinder on too. The upgrade was as noticeable as removing the PAIR Valve (massive engine braking upgrade).
