If you haven’t replaced your clutch and brake fluid after 20k miles you are long overdue.
My VFR800 had over 100,000 miles before I replaced the brake and clutch fluid, and I couldn't tell the difference after the replacement. My 1991 Toyota pick-up, with 200,000+ miles, still has the original brake and clutch fluid.
Sometimes, the seals on the slave cylinder fail if fluid is too old. Sometimes the seals on the master fail too (they live a similar life anyway).
Miatas (mx-5) are known to suffer this issue when fluid has never been replaced.
Replacing brake/clutch fluid is very cheap and usually very easy on most vehicles I have ownd, so...
