Changed brake and clutch fluids yesterday

[Thunderbolt]

been way too long.  All of it had started to turn yellowish.  Mightyvac worked very well.  Everyone don't forget this maintenance item as the fluids absorb water over time and don't stop as well and may get hot and boil on those mountain trips when you need them the most.

Just did mine as well, and the fluid was real Nasty

Another point of interest.
I changed mine on my bike about 2-3 years ago. Still looked good when I went through the front brake cyllinders 3-4 months ago. I found "clumps" in the cylinders even though the fluid looked good.

Yeah my rear brake cylinder wouldn't even drain until the bleeder was cleaned out, and there was some clumps in mine as well.

I only did the clutch last weekend but need to do the others very soon, the clumps I found in the reservoir look the same as on the leaky slave cylinder. Terry the Mightyvac sure makes this easy, I connected the hose to the bleeder, set some pressure on it and just cracked the bleeder enough to see it draw slowly, that gave me time to keep the reservoir full, i did occasionally open the bleeder more to let any big bubbles come through but i was starting from a fully drained system. It is good advice to get this done.

Yep, the Gilster came over with his and made life easy

I just changed both on my fat lady. Actually, I took the easy way out and had it done by my local dealer in DeLand. They did a good job.

It was all done to get ready for the 3,900 mile (plus 2,800 trailering the bike to and from Lawton, OK) through OK, TX, UT, NM, CO, NV, CA, and whatever other states get in the way. Time is getting near - leave by Truck this Friday. Should be fun!
