There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have 65,000 miles on my 2010 rt and have not bled the brakes yet. I have asked three dealers and they have suggested leaving them alone. No issues yet!

Brake fluid in any vehicle should be changed/bled. It breaks down and gets contaminated like any other fluid.
I usually change brake fluids in my cars/trucks at least every 12-18 months.
My performance vehicles more often. It makes a difference and helps stop deterioration of brake parts like calipers.
In my track car it gets changed before a track weekend and on a 3 day event it gets changed out mid weekend also.

The service manual says to change brake fluid every two years, same as every other motorcycle brand I am aware of. Brake systems get condensation, and the glycol absorbs the moisture from that. Every bit of water absorbed by the system lowers the boiling point which compromises your stopping power. If your brakes get hot, exceeding the boiling point of the fluid in your system, you are in a world of hurt should you need to stop.

Yeah, but this is SpyderLovers, where, of late, apparently no one agrees with anyone else!

I agree with several...
you should replace your fluid and flush the system periodically for best performance. If all is working well then you can have it done on your return or when you have recall work. I will remove the fluid from the resivoir and replace it with fresh fluid not needing to bleed the lines if going longer between flushes...:thumbup:

What do you mean by flushing?

I did not word it correctly. I meant to say the service manual agrees with Snoopy. I guess the idea of dealerships actually telling folks not to change their brake fluid regularly broke my mind. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa.

That's why i like this forum. I never thought about changing out brake fluid unless the brakes are leaking. :hun:

Life is about learning from those who have been there done that.
You do have to be wise and look between the lines at times though....
