    My rear brake fluid has gone cloudy...why?? I have a HRC green tube reservoir on (not sure that's the best mod I've ever made!!) doesn't seem right to me that it should do that?

    Second question have the akra evolution full system fitted so if I want to change oil filter am I right in thinking I need to remove the two header tubes to do so? And are there any gaskets or anything I need to replace when I do so or can I just put them straight back in?

    Cheers

    Cloudy fluid is usually a sign of moisture.
    So there coul 'be a slight air leak.
    Sometimes happens after a fluid change when damp
    Gets inside the res.

    Oh and I don't have a clue about akro systems
    But I'm sure that does will be along soon.

    i've stopped using these on my NC30 as they seem to sweat moisture all the time.
    i think they are only intended for short term use like track days , i'd get rid of

    Yup I'm with Phantom ....... bet its moisture . Either change the fluid for fully synthetic or get rid .
    As for the down tubes , the pipes should just sit straight back in with the springs .

    Hydraulic fluids discolour due mainly to constant use moisture plays a smaller part in that. Checked the clutch reservoir the fluid was like treacle where the fluid was being pulverised over a period of time. Every season I now change brake and clutch fluids.
