Bike is 3years old - dont know what the 'magicians' at the Yam dealer did if they changed fluid if not - I think it lasts 3-4years??

Anyway, question is what fluid do you recommend and where from ??
Ideally I would like to get a fluid in other colour than yellow.

Currently my fluid is yellow and as I will be doing it 'the old-school way' (no using vacuum system) - I want to see when the new (different colour) fluid is gone through the system.

Many thanks;

Chris

BTW - any other tips for bleeding the breaks ??
