Youve got 28 days to do a resit, this does not have to be done at the same VTNZ you can get your resit done anywhere if it were my situation i would take it to another VTNZ and have it retested...

HEL give you the option of fitting an approval sticker on their lines - we've got them on our bikes....just in case....and it doesn't cost any more...Originally Posted by pritch

Can HEL banjos be spun in the crimp (if the lines are twisting)?
I'm looking to get HEL or Speigler if the WoF dude gets pissy to avoid the arse ache.

No the screw together bit screws into a fitting which is swaged onto the line. So legal.

????If there is any sort of screw fitting on the line then it is not up to NZ standard.The line must be a direct crimp to the banjo, with no screw fittings, even if they are just for decoration.Hope you can understand this time.

you sure about that? I thought you had to pay again if you went somewhere else

Really? my stock standard Ducati brake fittings wouldn't comply then

After a re read, Note 2 means "or similar process" can't be a connection which can be undone using hand tools. Legal (as many here have already said).

I believe the technical term for this wonderful test is called a "brake (or break) test".
They used to be common place back in the day when people gave a damn and didn't have a checklist.
I love the fact the "Screw back" fittings are considered illegal......yet from an industrial sense they are fantastic.....and crimp fittings are "those ones that leak all the time".
Perhaps its review time......tests need to be performed. Facts need to be updated.
Checklists need to be improved.

I am now wondering if they will let us have push-lock lines. Those can spin and not undo.

Regardless of how you interpret the wording, the question of legality lies with the distinction between brake lines that rely on the integrity of the fitting of a ferrul by who knows what class of monkey and brake lines with swivel fittings crimped onto brake lines by a factory that has met certification standards.
The hoses in the OP are of the latter type.

and my KR1 stuff has a screw together bit in the middle where it goes from one line to two, guess that is no good either
I just got an aftermarket line for the rear which has similar fitting to the OP's, unlikely to get pulled up on it, but good to know that it relates to the hose-end crimp bit just in case.

climb off your high horse and consider the possibility that, while the brakes will probably work when you take the bike in an hour after installing them, home made crap on such an important part of the bike has no proven longevity of performance.
Keeping a strict standard might seem annoying to those cheapasses that thing stuffing some wedges of wood in instead of brake pads will suffice, but a set standard that is unwavering means that only fittings that have already proven longevity in reliability and performance means that (hopefully) bikes that are legally on the road are actually safer

I have the general KB view on it (not counting bsasuper), now I am going to find out if I can change Mr VTNZ technician's view of it. Check back in a couple of hours to see what happens!

No I bought a bike that failed a warrant in Carterton VTNZ, fixed the problem and took it to Upper VTNZ within 28 days. Wasn't charged anything extra!
