I am going thru on the search feature looking at the comments on the brake and clutch fluid. I was out "futzing" with the bike after installing the National wind screen and the risers. I had noticed what has been commented on in other threads on the black or truly dark oil in the motor at, in my case 500+ a little miles which is way out of my experience with other bikes. As noted else where good oil should be maybe a dark brown even on a new motor break-in. I looked at the site glasses on the brake reservoir and then the clutch reservoir. They are literally as black as the motor oil. WTF!!!!!!
I mean come on. it looks to me(of course my trust issues have trust issues) like the fluid in the site glass of both the clutch and brake is the same as the motor oil.
I'll be taking my bike in for it's 600 mi. service next week. I am going to have the shop make a record of it and flush and clean both brake and clutch systems.
I mean come on. I was taught and believe from looking at brake fluid over the years that one should get a year or two out of the fluid before it starts turning.
I am really disappointed in this start up on this new bike that I truly love on the way that it has been delivered from the dealer.
