    Default Clutch fluid flush

    Just got done flushing the manual clutch system on mine and my brother's '08 GS's. He bought his '08 last year, and I don't think it had ever been flushed before, and as for mine, it's been several years. In fact, too long. Rule of thumb is every two years, but since I don't put that many miles on, I guess I just waited too long. Both were very dirty as you can see in the pictures. Both clutch reservoirs we're filthy, to say the least, and the color of the fluid looked like Coca-Cola. So don't forget that part of your maintenance schedule.
