I was servicing my brute yesterday and after pulling the filter was wiping excess oil off the skid plate and hoses for the oil cooler. One hose had a big bubble on it and was very soft. I ended up pulling the cooler off until i can figure out what to do. There high temp oil hoses that came with the permacool cooler
could have been a bad deal if it broke. i would inspect the hoses before every ride.

 

Good tip! Thanks!
