How often do you guys........

change your blinker fluid? I know this is a generic brand for autos but it should work ok for our bikes? Is this something hard to do?

That's the brand that I run....lasts for 1.5 million blinks, so I'll change it at 50k miles, when I change my muffler bearings, piston return springs, and fork oil.

Like any other job... it all about having the right tools... Do you have a blinker bearing puller?

As with any fluid, you may need to change the blinker fluid more often depending on how you use your blinkers. For instance, retired Florida drivers may need more frequent blinker fluid changes, because they always have their blinkers on at all times.
Us guys in Texas never use blinkers, so we never have to change the fluid. (We can always spot someone from out of state, because they signal lane changes and turns).

If yours hasnt been changed in awhile you need to change turn your hazards and wait for 250 flashes and change it again.

From what I heard KaleCo is a decent brand. What ever you do don't use that cheap stuff from WalMart, cause now my right blinker blinks twice as fast as the left and my blinker fluid housing leaks.
