Not a lot. Whenever I drain my brake fluid completely out there hardly seems to be any at all.
If you clamp the hoses just above each caliper before removing (after pumping all the pistons as far as you can without them coming right out)them then it means you can just pump fresh fluid right through after reinstalling them, much quicker job then.
3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.
1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
