You guys think your funny The guy is asking a question. Well Keats I am here to help you. You don't ever need to change the fluids, you can do one of two things just run the bike until they run out and put some more in or rotate the fluids ie: brake fluid in the primary, primary to the trans, trans to the crankcase. After that but a cage.

Blinker fluid is all too often overlooked as well.
