Necessary to change brake fluid every 2 years?

Absolutely! I spent about a dozen years as an automotive mechanic in the mid-80's-90's and know all too well how bad things can get when brake systems have been contaminated. Not happening on my stuff if at all avoidable!

I'm in Florida and with the heat and humidity I feel its a must to flush brake fluid at the very least every two years....easy to do yourself with a friend....flush the reservoir thur the bleeder.......Just finished the wife's 16 Slim and got some white stuff out of the rear...MOISTURE.....bike has 10 k on it....I also maybe once a year take a turkey baster and pump out the reservoir's and put back new fluid....to fussy, yeah I guess.....

When I bought my 2016 RG with 10,006 miles on it the dealer changed the brake fliud, but not the clutch fluid.
When I checked it, the brake fluid was clear, top and bottom. The clutch fluid? I couldn't see the bottom of the reservor, about an inch deep.
Changed it too.
