Hey folks......it’s been a while! Happy New Year! Scoot has been running really well but just lately I am noticing brake fluid on my garage floor from the front wheel. Without tearing down all the plastics on the front end I checked all of the lower end connections and re-bled the from brake caliper. Took it for a nice spin braking a good many times and parked it again in my garage. The next morning brake fluid on the floor. So not sure what’s going on but will tear down the front end plastics this weekend and see what I see. I’m thinking I have a leaking brake line. Where is the best place to find a replacement? Is it best to take the old one off if it is in fact split to measure the length? Would like to hear your opinions as they are always right on! Oh yea......I live in New Orleans so I have to give y’all a Who Dat! Geaux Saints!

I'd be checking the caliper piston seals find out exactly where the fluid is coming from,,,not only so your not changing parts willly nilly but you do not want problems with the braking system,,,it will not end well

Replace with a steel braided line,,you'll be amazed at the difference in braking force,,,it's like a power brake upgrade
