Hello everyone,
I recently bought a 2007 FZ6 (the one with the 2 4-piston non-floating calipers) and the previous owner had installed a Brembo Master cylinder 16 mm (but its not one of the aftermarket ones, I think it came stock on some other Yamaha- maybe an old r6 or something). Each brake line is connected separately to the master cylinder which has one of those long/ double banjo bolts.
My problem with this setup it that I cannot properly rotate the master cylinder (and therefore the brake lever) because the end of the banjo bolt is blocked by the accelerator cable adjuster (and the last accelerator cable broke due to this contact). This makes it so that the brake lever is high up and it hurts my wrist.
Additionally there is some slight snagging when I turn the bars all the way to the left. The previous owner didn't route the brake lines through the little cable holder attached to the triple tree.
My question is, what can I do about this? I have seen setups where there is one line hooked up to the master cylinder and the line from the other caliper attaches to the brake line from the right caliper (instead of going back to the master cylinder directly). Or maybe could I get some sort of angled banjo bolt? I tried looking up "90 degree banjo bolt" on google but I couldn't find anything that resembles something that would fit.
Any ideas on what I could do to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
