Just change it, would cost $20 and do it yourself. I havent heard of any other brake fluids that are blue.

Change it. Don't just top it

They have it in two colors btw blue and gold. Just change it out... You have to buy a whole can anyway

In Canada it is clear and blue

Actually, my buddy just picked up the new stoptech 660 brake fluid. It is cheaper than the motul rbf600, and better specs. A tad more money than the ATE superblue but oh well, price to pay for a much better spec fluid.

i wonder why they would make it clear...i thought they make them two different colors (like gold) so you can see when the old fluid is out and the new fluid is in when doing a full flush...


well, maybe you can see the clear as well..I dunno.... i've only swapped out blue before

While I recommend flushing the system, I don't believe the Dragon necessitates the need for a full flush. If you're that hard on brakes up there, you're doing it wrong.
