Breaking rear brake line

I have a 07 ec300 and am having problem breaking my rear brake line at slave cylinder. This is my first gasgas and I love the bike but I've broken two brake lines within a month and that's not fun a few miles in the trail. Any ideas what might be causing this problem
 
How exactly is it breaking? Is it getting pinched or pushed by the rear shock/spring or being pushed by the engine cases? Snagging on trail trash??

I'd suggest putting the bike on the stand and running the swing arm through its range of motion to see if it causes things to go tight at any point.
 
It's breaking at the transfer from the fitting to the line (if that makes sense). There's nothing there for it to snag on and no way it can get into the spring. I'll put it on the stand tomorrow and make 100% sure. Is there any aftermarket lines out there that might be stronger

Galfer make good quality aftermarket lines, contact GoFasters, or your local dealer to see if they can source one for you. Although, iv never seen nor heard or lines breaking at the join between the line and the fitting without it being a defective fitting fitting.. or having it yanked by something.
 
Make sure it's routed properly. The hose should not get in a bind when the swingarm moves up and down.
