[ST] Brake Lines

["William Sanders" <tuckersdad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the responses to my question regarding SS braided lines for
the ST. What prompted my thoughts of changing the lines are this. I also
have an MZ Skorpion Sport Cup. It definitely has SS lines, as they appear as
SS lines usually do, and the brakes on this bike are super. They operate
literally with one finger pressure. For those of you old (wise) enough to
remember, they feel like the first time you drove a car with power brakes
after having only driven non-power brakes before.

  The brakes on my ST work well, but there is a fair amount of lever travel,
and the lever feels a bit mushy. They've never been serviced for any reason,
and have been like this since day one. I just assumed the difference was the
lines, but now I'm not sure.The brakes on the MZ are two pot, single rotor
Grimeca's, so the advantage here would seem to go to the ST. I'm not due for
dealer servicing until the fall, and they're a hundred miles at that, so I'd
prefer to resolve this at home if possible. Maybe there is nothing wrong
with my ST's brakes, and I'm just spoiled with the MZ brakes. Does my
description of the feel of my ST's brakes seem familiar to your experiences?

Thanks again for any responses, Bill
