The statement above got me to thinking. Why do most people never change the brake fluid in their cars till the brakes need changing? And they never have a problem? Yet on motorcycles, we tend to stick religiously to the rules.
I can't remember ever replacing the brake pads (and therefore fluid) on our 95 Windstar. I'm guessing we must've done it at least once. I think it went through transmissions more often. On our 99 Camry, I only remember replacing the brakes twice maybe in 17 years??? Maybe three times then? And we never experienced a brake problem that could be traced to the brake fluid.
I'm not saying to disregard the general rule to change brake fluid every 2 years...but I just thought about how we never question that in regards to our bikes, but the general motoring public never does that to their cars. And it doesn't seem to make a difference.
