Remember, brake fluid is hydrophilic, that is, it attracts and holds water. It's actually a good practice to change the fluid whenever you change pads.



Good point, I change the fluid on the bike and cars every two years. I use Valvoline Syn-Power fluid in the cars and bike. It has low water absorption, which is good for folks that don't want to change very often and a pretty decent boil point so it will take more abuse than I'll give my brakes. I've used it in my cars for several years and read in Motorcyclist magazine that is the fluid they use in their long-term test bikes which get occasional track work, that's good enough for my needs.
