Okay I'm no mechanic. Don't even change my own oil but I do believe in preventive maintenance. Did I read here we should be changing out the brake fluid every so often?

2 years on brake fluid is the norm. Can Am may state something different I haven't bothered to look. I do everything I own every 2 years come rain or shine.... ;)

Two years is standard for most including our Spyders.

It should say two years in your operator's guide; mine does -- in the maintenance schedule.

Just my .02. I bought a brake fluid tester that measures the moisture content in the fluid. 3%+ it's time to change. My 15 tested at 1%, I feel comfortable letting it go a while more and then retesting. Of course if you want to be absolutely sure you fluid is good, just change it.
