Hey all
I had noticed that the fluid for the rear brakes was discoloured after 2 1/2 years of owning this bike. Probably due to the rear being the only hose that is rubber. 2016 SE. All other lines are steel braid. I decided to change the fluid in all yesterday. It could not have been any easier! As my username says I am a Ford technician by trade. I hooked up my vacuum pump with reservoir and just sucked out the fluid and kept putting new in until everything was clear again. It is a Mityvac Siverline that I bought probably 25 years ago. It took maybe an hour and a half to do the brakes and clutch. No spilling fluid even though I had rags wrapped around the reservoirs in case.
My old bike I did every year......this one is going to be the same. I am pretty sure that the Mityvac is fairly inexpensive to buy. When finished flushing always give a couple of shots as if you are bleeding to be sure.
