The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the front brake line may be pinched when turning right all the way to the steering stop. A pinched brake line could restrict the flow of brake fluid to the caliper. Also, over time, the pinched hose may crack causing a brake fluid leak. A restricted and/or leaking brake line could reduce braking efficiency resulting in extended stopping distances. Correction: Dealers will install a plastic bracket to protect the front brake line.
