Bill,
I have mine in for the HU replacement and I enquired about having the hoses
replaced too. They priced them for me - 7 hoses totaling $416 !!!. This is
just for the parts! I think that's friggin outrageaous. What have you been
quoted? The Service manager told me he didn't think brake hoses should need
replacing on anything that was less than 15 years old. He didn't think the
hoses would be the cause of water entering the system. He also claimed that
they had replaced some HU's on GTS's and they thought the cause was water
entering at one of the electrical connections to the HU which interupted
signals to the pump. He is going to show me exactly where when I pick the
bike up, but based on the info posted here I don't think this is the real
cause of failure.
Cheers Joe.

Subject: ABS HU replacement saga
The shop got authorization to replace the HU from Yamy.
I'm having them replace the lines also - on my tab :>(! Parts are on order
as of 1/7.
He said that Yamy definitely did recommended against synthetic because it
was moisture absorbstion by the fluid that caused the corrosion the ruined
the original HU(!). He also said that Yamy regional tech rep. said that
this is a one thime thing - as we expected.
So:
A big **T*H*A*N*K** Y*O*U** to Joe Loss & others that helped get this going.
Bill
