Alright guys, I decided on Carbone Lorraine pads, Spiegler lines and whatever fluid I decide on.

I was curious how much fluid I need to change the brake and clutch fluid.

Thanks!

this is for a bike?, you are doing the front only i hope?
get the 500ml bottle, if you buy from a automotive shop you will save compared to bike shop prices.

verify all the hardware is there for the brake lines, usually something is missing or not matching up, different threads etc.

get some speed bleaders

I am doing the rear too but with a more conservative pad. Is that bad? Its not like I am going to jam the rear brake.

replace the rear:
-if you got money to burn do it?
normal riding should not use the rear. may be in the parking lot.

i say this in fear it will start a huge discussion here. back in the days of old when motorcycles were twice as heavy and and half as fast using the rear made sense.

The rear brake should always be used as well. Why would you not want to fully utilize both brakes in any situation? Either stopping quicker if needed or putting less wear on the front brake while achieving better balance.

jah

we dont know the bike or its intended use but here we go.

anyways get 500ml of fluid, look at some speed bleeders.

cheers

I was taught in the MSF course to always use it and I always have. If you don't use it all the time, then you run a much greater risk of locking it when you do use it.

Besides, on my bike they are linked.
