While doing the fluid change on the front brakes (see "wheel sensors" https://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread...id337785),
I thought - let's look into the left side reservoir, see how the clutch fluid is doing. With the last change just over 12 months ago, I got really surprised about the mess I found. A darkish kind of soup, when measured with a high water contents.
It is clear that on the clutch side fluids will always suffer and get contaminated faster than in the brake lines. But this bad, it surprised me. No safety risk like a non-working brake, but I cannot imagine it's good for the clutch either.
The 24 months interval (even with low miles) may really be too long.
