Don't forget to do brake & clutch master cylinder maintenance
Now that it's the end of the season for some of us. Don't forget to check and or flush out the old fluid in the brake and clutch master cylinders if it's been a few years. My bike was new to me a year ago and I just opened up the masters to have a look. The fluid had sucked in a lot of water and was a milky mess on the bottom of the master. I sucked out the old fluid with a Mity Vac and flush/bleed with new fluid. All is good now but if left too long I would of had problems with corrosion in the systems. Make sure to add this to your winter to do list if it's been a while.

I do a full bleed (both ways) twice a year. It makes a difference on brake fade.

excellent advise for sure, when i'm racing usually flush bake fluid every 2-3 races it makes a big difference and sometimes during the hot summer months after a race that requires alot of braking i'll change it before the next race. its easy to do and doesn't take long at all with a mighty vac bleeder now the clutch...... for some reason that's an absolute pain in the **s, i've tried different methods and just haven't had any success at all.

Bleed mine about every 4 or 5 races. Anybody done a rebuild on the AJP clutch. I think it's about time on mine. Where to get the parts?

Make a point of not over filling clutch master cylinder, I think 8.5 to 9mm ( but do your own research) from top edge, you can cause overheating bike with mild clutch engagement due to overfilled heated clutch master oil.
