1985 R80 & R80RT Double Disc:fEront Brakes ,,, โข “lโข
For USA and Canada
Only
Two types of front disc brake systems will be delivered on
U.S. models of ~he motorcycles named above.
1.) Double discs with two (2) rubber hoses, on to each
caliper; and
2.) Double discs with one (1) rubber hose to the left
brake caliper and a pipe from the left caliper to
the right caliper.
Both systems will accept engine protection bars; however,
on the version with two rubber hoses, on the R80, it
is important to install the hoses into the wire holders
which mount onto the upper mounting of the engine protection
bars.
Failure to install the hoses in this manner could impair
steering (i.e.,hoses could hang up on the upper mounting
of the engine protection bar).
Very truly yours,
