Steel Braided Brake Lines

[MagicEightBall]

I've read some discussions on here that mention swapping out the brake lines for steel braided lines to help the mushiness after hard riding, but then I saw others saying the bike already has them.

When I ride hard, especially now in summer, the pull gets closer and closer to the grip and I lose a lot of feel.

There is a set from Galfer that's reasonable, but don't want to buy them if they aren't going to help. Thoughts?

It has steel lines from the factory. What fluid are you using? You can try using RBF600 if you’re not already to bring up the boiling point, which will be easier to test first. Also what pads are you using? The stock ones are pretty bleh.

The fluid is a good call, still using stock. I did change out the pads a while ago for semi-metallic Galfers and noticed the difference. Bike still stops fine, just a lot of lever travel when it's hot. Will try the fluid and report back!
