Clutch hose broken..

[enriquez]

Hi folks,

Do to laziness and stupidity, I managed to broke the clutch hose right at the fitting in slave cylinder.

Today I'm going to remove it (and drain the remaining mineral oil) and tomorrow I'll take it to a local shop that specialize in industrial hoses and fitting and see if they can make another one. If that doesn't work my plan B is to purchase one on eBay. The question is that I noticed that early BMW R1200RT 2005~2009 uses a slightly longer hose (1244mm) vs the camheads (1230mm). My 2012 has handlebar raisers installer I don't see much trouble on getting the slightly larger one, but decide to check if the fitting (banjos) are the same or whatever?

Regards,
Mario

I would get the one that's called for in the manual for your bike, that way you can be sure that the hose fittings will fit. As far as length is concerned, most if not all risers are compatible with stock hoses and cables.
