[blue-banshee]

I ran into a issue with my front brakes the metal line that meets up with the "T" near the top of the handle bars was leaking where in went into the "T so i took if off to see why it was leaking everthing seemed normal so i stick it back in and tighting it up, still leaked so i try tighitng it up more and the little end snaps off, so now i need to get a new line im guessing i think it would be a specal order thing to though yamaha or can you use something elts? anyway does anyknow why this would be leaking somthing maybe worn out or a gasket or O ring gone? i dont wanna buy a new line and find that there somthing elts i need to replace, also how in the hell do you bleed the front bakes ?>? thanks guys

Get ahold of NYUK, I'm sure he has some stock front lines with the splitter still on it. As far as bleeding them, fill the resivoir with fluid and crack the bleeder valves on the calipers and leave them for ahwile. Make sure you keep the resivoir full. Tighten the valves, top off the fluid and put the cap on the master cylinder. Gravity bleeding is the only way to go, if you don't have a vacuum canister.

if you find the right size line, correct flare, and fitting you would be fine. also make sure its the same length. it will probably be about the same price as buying a used on from someone on the site.

UPDATE: i took the broken line to a local auto parts store, the guy there flared out the end that was fucked (for free), hooked it up, bled the breaks (gravity bled took like 15 mins) got her all working good better pressure then befor, Dont you love the easy fixes
