p6x Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM (edited) Both fittings were loose, each side. I replaced the copper washers and used Loctite frein filet faible to reinstall. The hydraulic flexibles were properly tightened. That should do it. Edited Thursday at 09:12 PM by p6x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads on the fitting. It is just to prevent it to come undone from the vibrations, and not meant to be a seal. I used the "weak" one, so it can be removed if it needed to be. The bike is 20 years old now, I don't think these fittings were ever touched before. I have been riding the V11 extensively those past three years. When I got the bike in 2021, it had only 8,800 miles. It now has 35,000 miles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German, actually. Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Institut_für_Normung Pertinant is this Quote There are around thirty thousand DIN Standards There is a DIN standard for everything, it seems. And it seems that the DIN standard has been taken over as a European standard for nearly everything. A4 Paper, for instance, is a DIN standard. The annoying thing is, although it is a "non-profit organisation", if you go looking for a DIN standard in the Interweb, all you ever find is a site where you can buy a copy of the DIN standard for a price that cannot be considered cheap.

gstallons Posted Friday at 06:01 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:01 AM (edited) Everything I post is from memory. I merely said IDK enough to explain them . I know what DIN stands for . It is German and it is similar to our JIC ( Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of American Engineers ) . I am not familiar enough to recognize & explain the fittings. Also , Loctite "purple" would have told me all I needed to know. Edited Friday at 06:02 AM by gstallons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First testride, 4km, WHAT, left boot covered in oil. Something with the Orings?, no had to loosen up the fitting and retighting. A little conical fitting. What a mess in 4km, nothing wrong with oil pressure. What small things can do to make you happy. Cheers Tom. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
