[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1441373, member: 19880"] Personally, I have never felt the need for Speedbleeders on the FJR. (Didn't even know people used banjo bleeders on FJRs.) Certainly Speedbleeders are not a bad suggestion and lots of people love them. They can make the job a little easier with less potential for making a mess. Guess I am a little old school... Keep brake fluid off painted surfaces. If not cleaned off ASAP, it will eat the paint. Whether or not the levers or rear brake pivot feel sticky, I service these annually along with the shift linkage. That brass bushing in the clutch lever will last indefinitely if maintained or could need replacement after a couple of years if neglected. Note: The owners manual has replacement intervals for hydraulic hoses as well as coolant hoses. There is rarely any need IMHO but they should be inspected for cracks, friction rubs, bulges, wear and leaks. Same with brake seals - inspect and replace if they leak or rubber has hardened. [/QUOTE]
