My brakes definitely needed bled

Not sure how many years this fluid has on it, but I'm thinking a lot. It looks like it belongs in theMcDonalds cup . Clutch and brakes feel so much better!

May I suggest changing the fluid? Just like bleeding, but you continue until clean fluid comes out.

That's what I did, it took about a whole bottle of brake fluid. I actually had trouble finding DOT 4 fluid, everywhere I went was DOT 3 only. I also found the service records for my bike! The original owner bought it new, put about 29k miles on it, and sold it in 2012. It didn't get ridden much after that (less than 1000 miles), and I bought it at about 29,800 miles. But the previous owner did a good job of getting it maintained by the dealership that they bought it from. They changed the gear oil at almost every oil change.

As a suggestion,I recommend placing a plastic sheet over the fairing whenever adding brake fluid,as the fairing does not like it.
A couple years ago a post was put on the forum showing what happens when the fairing is introduced to Dot4.
