Front break line lifetime
01/26/14 at 18:28:48
Hi folks,
I know that suzuki recommends to change front break line every 2 years. On my 1986 savage front break line was never changed and I see nothing wrong with it. Am I just lucky and should change this line asap or it is ok to use original break line?
Thanks,
Kirill.

I have never preventively changed a front break line. If it starts to ooze, or if it is squishy with fresh fluid, I will change it, but otherwise...

If it breaks, change it. If it still works the brakes, its fine,,
Theres a hint hidden in there

there'll be a time when the brakes will feel spongy, and bleeding them just doesn't fix it... that's when you change them.

Also, a brake line can sometimes collapse inside causing fluid to stay compressed against the caliper causing brake drag. Rare but it happens. Fluid does not return to the master cylinder.

If Suzuki stocked up in anticipation of their dealers changing our brake lines every 2 years......They must have a big pile of them in storage somewhere!

Probably right next to all those Pinto gas caps someone must surely have amassed. When we ( My runnin buddy & I) were in Alabama we couldnt get outta that car more than 5 minutes w/o someone swipin the gas cap.
We went & bought a new one, but it was gone in a day, so, we just started huntin a Pinto to rip off when we needed one.. Im sure somewhere in Mobile there is a garage with a pile of them stashed in it.,

Thanks a lot everybody for information and sorry for brake vs break confusion. I'm not native speaker, but this is definitely not an excuse to make such silly mistakes.
Thanks,
Kirill.

A line for the pisser...
