The Angry Blue Mantis
I changed my brake fluid last night on my 2006 FZ6 for the first time (14,000 miles on the clock). Been meaning to do that for a year or two now..
WOW!!! I did not realize how spongy my brakes had become! Now I only have to squeeze the brake lever about 50% as hard to achieve the same braking force!
The best part is this process only takes about 15 minutes.
All you need is a pint of DOT4 brake fluid, a Philips screw driver, an 8mm wrench and a couple feet of 1/4" I.D. clear nylon hose. :rockon:
If you have been procrastinating I can tell you...this is well worth it!
I also changed my coolant (first time) at the same time and it was brown and nasty! Change those fluids!
