Brake fluid change.

First off I'm new to this kind of stuff but I consider myself pretty handy.

I wanted to change the brakes fluid by myself. My first reaction was to follow the maintenance manual and after re-reading the chapter three times I've put asside this plans and went on only changing the engine oil.

I guess the translation from Italian to English is rather approximative because it's so confusing. So instead of dismantling the brakes (you should see the instruction for the rear calipers.... it's mind blowing!) I've used my common sense and proceeded with through a much easier way.

Has you will see, it was deffinitively time to change the fluids. Arrgh!

Keep an eye on the new fluid - after 1000km it will be as dark as the old one.
The color is no more indicator when to change the fluid. Most modern motorcycles have this extrem dark color after a few miles.
