Rubber on 2021 TXT125 rear brake hose.

Featured Replies

Does anyone have an idea what the piece of rubber is used for on the 2021 Gas Gas TXT rear brake hose that connects to the calliper?

I think that is to help hold the kickstand up when riding sections.

Mmm thanks Jonny, will have to see what it pulls over. Appreciate the reply.

That was my first thought even if it is not such a good idea.  Securing or spring loading something to a brake line is just asking for trouble.

I agree that to me it is counter intuitive to attach anything to a brake line.  Even if it seems unlikely to cause an issue I have to worry about what if.

Yes it pulls over where the spring attached to the stand. The rubber is weak by comparison with the brake hose and I think would break before the hose as its next to the calliper. Cheers for info.
