Question:

My brake fluid on my motorcycle looks dirty how do I change it?

I am new to the whole motorcycle thing and I think the brake fluid is starting to look dirty. My uncle told me that he uses a turkey baster and sucks it out of the resiovor on the handle bar but I do not know if that is correct or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:

That's the way I keep my auto brake fluid freshened. Suck some out with the turkey baster and refill every few years. Otherwise have the fluid flushed during a major brake job.
He's correct,I personally have a large long tubed suction bulb, which I found at a parts store.
that does nothing but put new fluid in the reservoir. The correct way is to bleed the system replacing all the fluid. The other is just a waste.
