just as it says..you get 2, 3 or 4 lines per kit depending on what kit you order.

means you have enough lines for just the front or both front and rear etc.

Yeah i guessed that bit
where would 4 lines go? theres only 3 calipers! 2 front and 1 rear.

a line from the lever to the reservoir then from the reservoir to the caliper. or something like that. some front brake lines have a few lines depending on the layout of them. if in doubt phone the company before you order.

think you can also use them for hydraulic clutch lines as well.

Line 1 goes from master cyl to splitter
Line 2 goes from splitter to 1 front caliper
Line 3 goes from splitter to other front caliper
Line 4 does the back.

Two lines could be one for each caliper on the front. Splitters aren't allowed in racing, so it is likely that three lines would be the best setup.

on my YZF theres a line from MC to right side caliper then a line from that to the left side caliper so i'd use a 2 line system.

what configuration has your bike got?

one cable to a splitter then two cables to both calipers on the front or like mine? that'll dictate what kit you buy.
