I've said this before but as we know, most Ducatis turn the clutch fluid black in short order, my 916 did with the OEM slave and the Monster does with an Oberon.
However I have an Evoluzione slave on the 916, been fitted for 15+ years and the fluid doesn't turn black between changes - the current fluid is at least 4 - 5,000 miles old and still the same colour as the brake fluid, whereas on the Monster (Oberon) I changed the fluid only 1,000 miles ago and it is already quite dark.
I'm confident that neither is spinning it's clutch rod, I wonder if it's to do with chain lube getting past the seals?
