My front brake fluid looks like this....

Do any of you know why this happens so early?
Is it shitty fluid or something else?
Never seen anything like this so soon

It must be shite fluid, I had to have my front and rear fluid changed at the 12 month service (at my cost) yet the clutch fluid was ok. Weird!
Never had to get it changed on Suzuki, Honda or Kawasaki this early.

It's normally the rear that looks even worse.
Funny thing is that on my '14 it was dark instantly and the dealer changed it at first service, on the '15 it hasn't been changed and it looks fine.
Unless the dealer changed it at delivery.

My rear looks ok

I can feel on the front that the lever is not "kicking in" as soon as it used to

its not cheap fluid,its the sunlight
shining in your resv that changes
the fluids color
that why they make resv covers
or just duc tape the clear resv up
then change your fluid if its dark
first thing i do is cover the resv
up when i get a new bike .

I'm gonna change my clutch fluid but it's quite expensive(when paired with PP caps;)).
How much fluid would one need after a bleed?
