I want to change the brake fluid.
I had to do it.
The way to change the brake fluid. A step by step illustrations or VDO.

Please help me

Have you downloaded a copy of the workshop manual (or have one)?
Assuming you have standard linked brakes it is important to follow the order given and to take your time.

I have the manual, but I do not understand. I have to translate into Thai.

I want has been with picture or VDO clip is easier to understand.

Get the Haynes manual.

Don't spill that shite on anything painted. Use Motul 5.1 synthetic hydraulic fluid, imo.

Why.

Yeah, why? am I missing something?..........mine has been in since christ knows when and the bike still seems to stop ok. Same with the car, 90,000 miles and never been changed or used a drop either.

Assuming you are being serious ziplex, brake fluid deteriorates with age, heat cycles and most imortant of all it naturally absorbes water. Should be changed at a min every 2 years.

It was said sort of tongue in cheek, i've not had the fluid done on the bike though and i've had it 4 years, maybe time to get it done. As far as I know the car hasn't had a fluid change since new? never mentioned on LR's service sheets and they tend to charge you for anything they can....needed or not. It's one of those things I realise need doing but not one that springs to mind.

Plus one on Duck's response. Hydraulic fluid is cheap it's the time it takes to change plus the frustration of not getting it correct that's a pita. I would do clutch also, same fluid. On my G, I follow the owner's manual for fluid changes, except oil as I drive less than 5,000 k per year and run Mobile 1. I'm not tech, which is no secret, but I have both my vehicles dealer serviced. Not my wife's Toyota. I have almost 180,000 on my '02 Bird and 130,000 kms on an '03 Infiniti G35 Sedan.

I usually change mine when it starts to taste funny.

Well........it can't taste much worse than the fork oil I had the delight of sampling the weekend, can it?

You're crazy to eat fork oil. That stuff will kill you.
