Had a leaking brake caliper seal on my 350LC recently so drained system to replace seal (and as it happens new piston required hence leak), the fluid looked rather cloudy so left it to settle, what resulted is unbelievable (see pic).
Cant believe how much water was in the fluid
, I've had the bike 2 years but never ridden it due to injury, I bought it off a guy who had the bike in his lounge since he bought it 5 yrs earlier so approx 7 yrs but bike not used. How does so much water get into a sealed system? I know brake fluid is hygroscopic but this is crazy, always thought I was getting ripped off by car/bike dealers when they said brake fluid needs changed every 2 years but now not so sceptical, yes brakes will work but only until the water boils then bye bye brakes, hello A&E.
