Been out on the bike tonight and noticed brake fluid leaking from reservoir on handlebar??

59 plate bike with 5300 miles, anyone else had this problem

Was only a very sedate run out and not hot weather...:nenau
 
Turn the bars until fluid reservoir top is level and open the screw cap. If the level is high, suck some fluid out with a syringe and put the cap back on. Then get the fluid changed.

The bike has not many miles but is 4 years old. Brake fluid absorbs water so that could explain the problem. Also make sure the pads are not sticking in the calipers because that can overheat the brakes.

When its all done get out and use the bike. Its currently done something like 1300 per year. It needs some proper hard use to free up the engine which wont be properly run in until it sees 10K.

Nice way to welcome someone to the site, have a go at him for not riding his bike enough, your advice could be right, but sometimes your attitude stinks. :D
I serviced my missus's TL1000s this week and took it for its mot yesterday, last mot was Oct 1st 2011, its done 25 miles since then, I'd better tell her off for not using it I suppose, it'll just fall apart,
By the way we will be going to a tl rally next weekend on them 2000 miles in a lo ng weekend, I guess that'll make up for it. :blast
