Changing Brake Fluid..

[HillbillyTom]

Anybody do this on their bikes? We change the oil, the anti freeze, we lube the chain, set the lifters, adjust this, adjust that, but I never hear of anything concerning the brakes. I'm as guilty as the next guy in that I've not done it on my bike since I put the braided lines on it. Strange thing is, I do it on a pretty much regular basis on my dirt bikes.
Got the trusty Mity Vac out and did the KDX woods bike today, and after a little less than 2 years, this is what pale amber DOT 4 turned into..

After almost 4 years, I'm wondering what the brake fluid looks like in the Busa.. ???

I usually change mine out at the start of each season.

I change mine when I change my oil, along with the clutch fluid. It's probably overkill but I can tell a difference after changing the clutch oil. Mine gets dirty after 3000 miles so change the brake fluid while I've got the mity vac out.

Depending on what I am doing, and what bike I am on. Both get a brake and clutch fluid change every year. Sometimes every 6 months. Or as much as every time I do an event that is really hard on the brakes. (Track Days or Busa Bash!)

Mine is an MV7000, but it has since been re-labeled as an MV8000.. Mityvac Brake and Clutch Bleeding Equipment

Also recommend speed Bleeders... Saves time too and money well spent!
