I am getting SS braided lines for the Zed.

Just wondering how easy it is to change the lines and bleed the new ones yourself?

Can be a bit messy but it's a simple job. Get yourself a vacuum bleeder because bleeding bike brakes can take time.

Have lots of paper towel at hand to clear any spills because brake fluid strips paint.

Not difficult...but...brakes are very important...if any doubt about doing the work pay a professional.

if unsure follow a guide , its simple enough the hardest part is making sure there is no air left in the new lines
