[QUOTE="HilltownDave, post: 1463393, member: 98512"] Don’t know about delaminating brake lines but I do have experience with delaminating hydraulic lines on cranes. The phenomenon can cause all kinds of havoc - especially when loose bits of inner lining start getting lodged in places where they can create restrictions/blockages or act like unwanted check valves. Granted, you’re not dealing with 3,000+ psi or measuring flow in gallons/minute but torch’s suggestion seems quite plausible coupled with the heating and expansion of trapped air in lines that cannot be thoroughly flushed. Even if reverse flushing gives you a favorable result, you might still be masking the “true” problem so I’d place my vote on replacing the lines on a 17 yr old bike with that many miles. But if you DO end up parting out the old girl, let me know. I need some body parts for my ‘07. 😛 [/QUOTE]
