Hi

How much appx fluid would I need to flush and replace brake & clutch - I can get hold of some cheap Castrol SRF so want to know how much I need. Has anyone any experience with this?

Cheers

I'd say about half a liter should do it? But if you get a liter you'll have some spare

Get two 1/2 litres if you can, then if you don't need it you don't have to unseal the bottle.

The 1/2 liter size is sufficient , I doubt if the fuid content of all three systems is greater than 250cc. The point being that once the seal is broken on the container the fluid inside will absorb moisture. For the brake circuits, I would not recommend using fluid from a container that has been opened for a month or more. It could be used for the clutch for up to six months. I ensure the cap is real tight then put the bottle in a thick zip lock bag that has the air squeezed out before sealing.
