Do you think you are using a LOT of Brake fluid ????

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

As a suggestion, difficult to see, but take a look at the master cylinder area. With the master cylinder at the bottom of the vehicle, and so much debris gets thrown up into that area, possibly the master cylinder bore is leaking. Possibly statically it seems fine, but with use, and movement of the piston, it slowly weeps fluid onto the roads as you ride.

Just an idea, I am sure you will sort it out.

:agree: .... any leaking may occur - Only when brakes are in use ..... I will be :thumbup:checking on the things suggested by you and the others here .......Thanks All .... Mike

I for one will be curious to see how this turns out.

Ditto shift arm and shift shaft splines.

:dontknow::lecturef_smilie: only like 5 splines on either side gone & not even in line with each other:banghead::wrong: but was culprit of downshift issues. Got it back yesterday :yes::riding::riding::yes:

If fluid is leaking wouldn’t the underneath be eaten up or really bad paint ?

:agree: ... brake fluid is quite corrosive, but I don't think it can corrode metal .... paint very much so ..... And I haven't found the leak yet :gaah::gaah: ....... I'm starting to think I don't really have a loss issue ...... Mike :thumbup:

how much have you added total since it started Mike?

I've noticed the same thing on my 14 as bk911 has noticed on his. I've burned half way or possibly a little over half way, through my second set of pads. No leaks, but each reservoir is in need of about a teaspoon of fluid to bring them up to full capacity. Same as my first set of pads at about the same pad thickness and millage. I'm thinking that rather than leaking, it could be because of the volume of fluid it takes to operate the calipers. Just a thought. I don't use a lot of brake pad as I ride maybe more conservatively than most. I allow engine deceleration to slow me down a majority of the time.
