Why Does Motorcycle Brake Fluid Turn Cloudy?
1 Answers
Motorcycle brake fluid turns cloudy because air has entered the brake pump. Effects of Air in the Brake Pump: Air in the brake pump significantly affects the vehicle's braking system. Since air is compressible, if it is not purged from the braking system, the brakes will not function effectively. Causes of Air in the Brake Pump: The brake fluid contains too much water, which can generate air within the fluid; air may also enter the braking system during brake pump maintenance. Solutions for Air in the Braking System: Prepare the same type of brake fluid; ensure there is enough brake fluid during the bleeding process; start bleeding from the wheel farthest from the master cylinder; make sure the brake fluid reservoir has sufficient brake fluid.
