Installing Brembo RCS Corsa Corta on Yamaha R9 – Stock brake lines don’t fit properly. Do I need custom lines? (Video included)
Hey everyone,
I recently tried swapping my stock master cylinder for a Brembo RCS Corsa Corta on my Yamaha R9.
The issue is that the stock brake lines don't seem to line up correctly with the Brembo banjo bolt orientation. Trying to fit them requires awkward routing and puts stress/kinks on the hard sections of the line, which doesn't feel safe at all.
For those who have done radial master cylinder upgrades on this bike or similar modern Yamahas:
Did you have to replace the front lines with custom/aftermarket braided lines (e.g., Spiegler, Core Moto, HEL)?
Is there a specific banjo bolt angle/adapter that makes the stock routing work without pinching the line?
Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Safety first!
