How to change your brake fluid.

[FEINT]

...and use only new brake fluid, from a sealed bottle. Brake fluid is very hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). The advantage to using the "yellowy brake fluid from BP" (actually Castrol) is that it changes colour as it absorbs moisture, so the darkerer it is, the more worserer it am.

Just to add something to that, don't mix brake fluid either.

I have seen cases of people opening up the bonnet of their car. Looking for all the Yellow Caps to open and top up with water (windscreen washer and radiator reserve tank) and in some cars, the oil filler is yellow too, they obviously pour water in to that too.... and ..... the problem starts..

In all my many years I've never heard of anyone using atf in a brake system of a bike either....
maybe it's something the new generation do?
