fluid

Any suggestions as to why my fs570 keeps overheating? I've gone for pretty long rides and yet it only seems to happen on the short rides.

Gday All, Was reading the 06/07 650 manuel today, it says only use Dot 5.1, on the master resivour it says use only Dot4 ?? So what to use ?

Okay, yes I know it has been addressed ad nauseam, but to the newby - ATF, mineral oil, baby oil, olive oil, Magura Blood - only serves to confuse. Add that confusion to this - My clutch master cylinder reservoir reads "MAGURA Use Only Mineral Oil" but the owners manual, and particularly the...

(07 Berg 550FE) First the easy question, in the manual it states to use DOT 5.1 brake fluid but then on the side of the bike (near rear brake reservoir) it says to use DOT 4 brake fluid only...ok, so which one? Secondly, just bought this bike and took it on first ride and was only riding for...

I have an 09 FE 570 with a Rekluse Pro clutch installed. I am still using the stock clutch setup. I notice lever feel going away on occasion. Removed master cylinder cover to find reservoir low on fluid. No sing of external leakage. This has happen multiple times. Where is the fluid going? Help

I thought it was about time to change the mineral clutch fluid on my 09 fe 450 but I can't see how to do it. whenever I've done it on previous ktm's i have just filled a syringe and pumped it up through the bleed nipple, job done. On the berg I can't get a pipe and syringe on the nipple as the...

I have been following the "locking front brake" thread where there is a ton of great brake fluid info and since i am thinking about it, i had wanted to change my front brake fluid but on the master cylinder cap it reads 3÷5 brake fluid is recomended? it plain as day says "3÷5", i have never...

Look what I found in the brake fluid reservoir when I was changing brake fluid... 8O Does anyone know what it is? It kinda looks like silicone that has gone old and grainy. Can brake fluid get like this when it gets old or has someone mixed different fluids that shouldn't be mixed? I've seen...

Went riding today for the first time in 2011. There was still some snow on the trails but it got all the way up to 36F so I couldn't wait any longer! Anyway.... When I first started off, I noticed the clutch engaged very early (lever just barely off the hand grip). Soon I lost pressure in...

i recently had the torque converter replaced on my FS 570. Upon the first ride home from the the service centre i noticed it was leaking a blue lightly oily liquid from what appears to be the top of the head over. Anyone got any ideas as to what this may be?

What can I use Manual says DOT 5.1 I was told Dot 4 is OK What should I use Don't want to wreak anything Thanks Frank

Guys, I noticed when I re-fitted the wheels recently that you had to "pump" the front break lever a couple of times before I got any break. I've looked in the service manual & only find instructions for bleeding the clutch & cooling systems. I also looked in the Owners Doc on this site &...

Checked my clutch fluid today and it looks like metallic silver paint. I want to flush it with new fluid and I'm not sure what fluid to use. I read about using a syringe but I don't understand the process and it sounds like it's an oil rather than a brake fluid. Any advice?

Last weekend i was out having fun with my FE 450. After falling off the bike i recognized that the clutch fluid was leaking out from the master cylinder. Cant see any damages to the clutch line or the cylinder. Are there any way the fluid can come out of the system when the bike is...

anyone know if they fit ? I have saw pics of bergs w/ blue rad lines & oil lines .

The owners manual says use Dot 5.1 (not 5) but the brake reservoir says Dot 4. Any one have any thoughts on this?

I need to flush and refill my clutch line. Is there any alternative to the Magura fluid?

Is there any real reason why you have to use mineral oil in the clutch, whats wrong with normal "DOT4" brake fluid? Just curious!

What is the best way to change the fluid ?.More than one way to skin a cat so wandering what you do and what you use.
