| Re: how long should clutch fluid last on the 1000? You will be changing it several times to get the color out. If you aren't worried about color, it should last for years. |

| Re: how long should clutch fluid last on the 1000? I had the same concern Stegen. I asked (not here I don't think) but nobody seemed to be able to answer why the clutch fluid darkens so much quicker than the brake. Talking to lubrication engineers, they say that basically the fluid will last almost forever provided it's kept clean and free of moisture especially. |
