chris280 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I have a 2013 gas gas raga replica and I have noticed the damage that is being caused by the front brake hose rubbing on yoke and right hand fork leg I have spoken to other replica owners all with the same fault I e mailed gas gas uk about this problem they said they have never come across this fault I also checked with gas gas parts the clip holding the hose is correct for model eventually the fork will leak because of hose rubbing coating off fork if you have replica check for same damage if so take some pictures and send them to gas gas along with frame no. These parts are expensive to replace Yours Chris laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 If the upper clamp is straight inline where the brake line comes through the fender brace it should never rub. Unless we are missing something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris280 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 My bike is exactly the same in your picture but when forks compressed the hose moves the clip guiding the hose then contact is made on fork leg. Ps new clip fitted Still the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I`d wrap some two sided tape around the leg where the clamp goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris280 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks but when you spend £6000 pounds on a supposed too be top of the range machine you don't want to tape it up Gas gas should sort it out. .? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 The clamp was probably initially designed for the 40mm Zokes and reused on the 39mm Tech forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I`m thinking my `04 Raga has been rubbing for ten years, still waiting for that leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Dont route the hose through the mudguard brace but zip tie it the front of the brace. Also fit a cable guide from a sherco, splatshop sell them for a couple of £s, and fit to the number plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I cut the clamp down so it nipped up tighter and glue innertube on the inside then placed it higher in the middle. Also rerouted the brake hose as is ran inside the clutch hose holding it in. I wouldnt normally bother but mine as the red forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
