Frequently Asked Questions — Core Moto Brake Lines

What is the difference between stainless steel braided brake lines and stock rubber lines?

Stock rubber brake lines expand slightly under braking pressure, which can create a soft or spongy feel at the lever — especially during hard braking or on track days when the brakes get hot. Stainless steel braided lines like Core Moto's resist that expansion, delivering a firmer, more direct lever feel and more consistent brake modulation. Most riders notice the difference immediately after installation.

Are Core Moto brake lines DOT approved?

Yes. All Core Moto stainless steel braided brake lines are DOT approved and fully street-legal for use on public roads in all 50 states. They are also suitable for track day use, making them a strong choice for riders who use their motorcycle both on the street and at the track.

Are Core Moto brake lines made in the USA?

Yes. Core Moto is a US-based manufacturer and their brake lines are made in the United States. Sixty61 is an authorized Core Moto dealer, which means you are buying genuine Core Moto products backed by the manufacturer's quality standards.

Will Core Moto brake lines fit my ABS-equipped motorcycle?

Yes — Core Moto offers ABS-specific kits for many popular ABS-equipped models, including the Suzuki Hayabusa (2013–present) and Kawasaki ZX6R 636 ABS (2013–2021). These ABS kits typically include five lines to cover the additional routing required by anti-lock braking systems. Always select the ABS version of the kit if your bike is ABS-equipped, as the line lengths and configurations differ from non-ABS models.

What color options are available for Core Moto brake lines?

Core Moto offers brake lines in several color options: black, translucent red, translucent blue, translucent green, carbon, and polished/clear. The translucent options feature a colored outer coating over the stainless braid, which gives a distinctive look while maintaining full structural integrity. The polished/clear option shows the bare stainless braid beneath a clear coating.

How hard is it to install Core Moto brake lines?

Core Moto brake lines are model-specific bolt-on replacements — not universal cut-to-fit lines — so they use the same banjo bolt connections as your stock lines. Most riders with basic mechanical skills and standard tools can complete the installation in 1–2 hours. The job requires bleeding the brakes after installation. If you are not comfortable bleeding brakes, a motorcycle shop can complete the install quickly.

Do Core Moto brake lines work for motocross and dirt bikes?

Yes. Core Moto offers brake line kits specifically designed for motocross and off-road motorcycles, including popular models from Yamaha (YZ80, YZ85, YZ125, YZ250, YZ250X, YZ450FX), Kawasaki (KX65, KX250F), Suzuki (RM250, DRZ400SM), and Honda (CR250R). Dirt bike and supermoto kits are available in the same color options as the street and sport bike fitments.

Does upgrading to braided brake lines actually make a noticeable difference?

For most riders, yes — especially those doing track days, canyon riding, or aggressive street riding where brake feel and modulation matter. The firmer lever response from a braided line gives more confidence under hard braking because there is less guesswork about where the bite point is. Riders replacing aged rubber lines (which degrade over time) tend to notice the largest improvement. For casual, low-speed commuters the difference is smaller, but the improved durability and cleaner look remain benefits regardless of riding style.
