I've got an Oberon slave on the Monster, works fine but the fluid turns black in a matter of weeks whereas, my 916 has an Evoluzione slave cylinder which also works fine (for 20+ years) but doesn't turn the fluid black at all, not even after 2-3 years without changing fluid.

I know most Ducati owners say their clutch fluid turns black over time but, it makes me think Evoluzione had a better design WRT to seals? Shame they're not in business anymore.
