After owning the bike for 20 months, I thought I might change the fluid all the way around. Got to the clutch master and found it to have sludge at the bottom. Not sure how it got there, but felt good to get rid of it. Just posting for those that have not checked the reservoir, since our bikes offer no way to visually inspect it without opening up the unit. Bled the clutch and all is well. Hope it can go for another 2 years or so.

Howdy,
While I think changing the fluid in the brake system every two years is good practice, I do believe the clutch fluid should be changed every year. The slave part of the system lives on the motor and gets mighty hot for long periods of time. MHO.
