Default RE: brake fluid change

I'll play Devil's Advocate. I think that depends on your braking style.I'd minimally do a fluid inspection once in awhile. If you ride a lot, depending on stop/go conditions on your riding path, you're going to be changing your brake pads every 3-5 years and that's when Iflush andevacuate both reservoirs and refill. Brakes are the most critical aspect of safety in motorcycling. Do you really want to take a chance? Call me ****, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
