Why It Is Important to Replace Brake Fluid in a Vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Brake fluid

Through this video tutorial, you will understand why it is important to replace brake fluid in a vehicle, specifically in a motorcycle: you should frequently change the brake fluid and also monitor the brake fluid level, as it is hygroscopic. Being hygroscopic, it absorbs moisture, and as the temperature increases, air bubbles can form, compromising braking quality. The procedure is simple: start by draining and cleaning the brake fluid reservoir, then replace it with new fluid (you can use RBF 700 fluid as it is high-performance and has a higher boiling point). Dispose of the old fluid carefully to avoid creating air bubbles (do the same for the hoses and brake calipers).
