I bought this bike in the spring and flushed both brake systems and the clutch with fresh brake fluid the old stuff looked a little discoloured and cloudy but nothing too nasty just old fluid. After about a month I noticed the clutch fluid was cloudy again so I flushed the system a second time now another month later and it's cloudy again colour looks good it's not dark just cloudy. Do I have something else going on that needs to be repaired ?
I have not ridden in the rain and the bike is stored in a garage so I doubt it's a water leak.
I think you are seeing symptoms of water contamination. Any miniscule opening into the clutch fluid system could allow condensation to enter and contaminate things. Here's some suggestions:
1- Wrapping your bleeder screw with Teflon tape helps to provide a better seal at that end of the system, but be careful not to wrap it so that it might plug the fluid movement.
2- At the other end, the rubber diaphragm tends to shrink, expand, dry out, and otherwise deform so that a hairline leak is also possible at the reservoir. I just ordered a new one for my clutch reservoir, as I could see it had miniscule leaks.
3- Even with careful flushing, there are some nooks and crannies where old fluid may lie outside of the mainstream, and it may re-contaminate your fresh fluid. Sometimes multiple bleedings are necessary.
4- Always use a fresh, unopened bottle of fluid, as brake fluid attracts water like Triumphs attract clever, well-adjusted, funny, expert riders :icon_mrgreen:.
I like number 4 :icon_lol:
Not just the bleeder but hose connections are suspect.
As is the lid.
If the PO topped off with non compatible fluids it could be eating at seals.
If it's not leaking just keep flushing. When the fluid gets cloudy it's doing its job. It gets saturated and needs changed.
If the fluid discolors then your seals are failing and it's time to dig in.
