i have HEL lines. you can grip the base of the banjo with pliers and put a screw driver into the banjo and you can twist it. it has this very instruction in the packet that you bought with the lines it shows you
You said to bleed the calipers and then the master cylinder last. Is that according to the service manual? I'd like to understand the purpose behind it.
From working on cars in the past, the thought process is to start with the longest line (furthest away from the master cylinder) and work your way back to the master cylinder to eliminate the chance of any air being trapped in between the valves. In hindsight, having dedicated lines rather than a shared line you probably could do it in any order. Old habits I guess! Out of curiosity, I'll look it up in the service manual when I'm in the garage tomorrow and let you know if there is a preferred order. 👍
The hel lines you can swivel the banjo , I spoke to hel you can't do by hand you hold the stem of banjo with clamp with rag in between not to scratch it then use a screw driver or something to turn the head of the banjo that connects to the caliper . Then it fits perfectly
Thanks for the kind words, my 600RR actually has a fairly new chain and sprocket but I will be doing a chain and sprocket chain on another bike on the channel soon. The process is very simular across most bikes. 👍
Hi, I know it was a while ago, but did you manage to rotate the banjo ends on the Hel lines? Just replacing mine and have found the same probs. What did you do about the lines as they went in front of the bottom triple tree, as the rubber clip is not big enough to take 2x new lines? Did you leave them or use some cable ties? Thanks for the video, it did make changing the lines much easier. Keep up the good work on the channel.
I didn't do it yet but it's on my to do list before summer, a few people have commented saying it's easy to change the angle of them. As for the lines, I just left them loose. I was debating a cable tie but thought it might damage the lines over time. Again, I will likely have another look at this when I correct the banjo ends. Hope you got sorted. 👍
I see a lot of you guys on UA-cam install brake lines the wrong way on CBR 600RR. The ring on the left calipers is facing wrong side because on top the rings on the pump should rotate of 180° and the cables should make a turn like stock ones. You forced the right one to rotate and put the ring correctly in the right one. That is also why brake lines are too long.

Thabks for the reply. I've since turned them around... looks much cleaner now. My lines didn't come in a packet as they were just cut to length.
Nice! I might need to upgrade my lines . Showing love from my post in the Facebook group!

Ah that's awesome to know, thanks very much. I'll correct it before u start riding again in spring. 😁
Excellent video! can you do a chain and sprocket tutorial pls for cbr 600rr

Brake lines need to point different direction. When you make full left lock brake line may touch the fairing
Thanks for your help
A pleasure!
Good vid. In future, bleed the lines dry before you start removing things. :)

Thanks for the input, I plan to take them off at some point to sort them out 👍
