    Redline Powersteering fluid for forks?

    Still leaks fluid after new clutch slave install - why?

    I have a new clutch slave cylinder and new clutch pipe and fittings. I'm still finding hydraulic fluid on the garage floor. What's the deal with that? Anybody have any ideas?

    Dirty hydraulic fluid

    My clutch wasn't disengaging so I went to add fluid. It was rusty or muddy looking. Would a drain and fluid replacement be appropriate? Is dot 3 brake fluid what I want to use or is there something better? Is a chiltons manual decent? Anybody have a link to a better manual? thanks!
