Hi,

I'm getting the S2K serviced next week and since the brake fluid needs doing I thought I would get goodridge lines fitted and Motul put in it.

I've bought three 500ml bottles and now I'm starting to wonder if I've got enough. Using the search I've come up with either two bottles or two litres.

Has any one done this lately and how much do you need.

Thanks.

your 3x 500ml is more than enough.

took mine about 600-700ml to bleed the break (inc changing to goodridge), the rest of the fulid you can use it change the clutch fluid

1 litre is more than enough for the brakes and the clutch. I changed the lines too and only used this amount so you should end up with a spare bottle.

Bugger, I've just bought 500ml of RBF600, thinking that was enough to bleed the brakes.

You might have enough, but that depends on how good you are at bleeding the breaks. On the safe side, personally i would get another 500ml bottle.

Thanks all for your replies.

Sorry for not replying earlier, away on business.

Now there's a thought. I bet it's never been done.

The last few times I've done mine I've used a single 500ml bottle. That'll bleed and more or less replace the fluid.

But if you're changing the hoses (i.e. introducing air), I'd have more to hand. Mine took lots of bleeds to get it good again.

I don't think there's any problem with keeping the unused bottle for next time, but if you open it you should use it or throw it away.
