Cloudy Brake fluid

[buzzman]

Having just traded in my 57 GS for a shiny new 2010 model, all was swanky and did not notice the cloudy brake fluid on the route home. Upon taking it in for the run in service notice the brake fluid was all cloudy like it was full of air bubbles. Asked the dealer and he looked at another 2010 model and it was the same claiming 2 bikes cannot be wrong, however all other bikes there seemed to have clear fluid.

Anyone else come across the same thing or is this nothing to worry about.

There is a sponge in the reservoir to dampen the fluid to prevent bubbles forming - the dealer should have known this.
