Get a JTIS so you get all the info

Even has the maintenance intervals etc

I think I created a signature. Let know if it worked.
Thanks Richard

Thanks Richard

No belt, the cams are chain driven.

JTIS covers it, but it is worth emphasizing that if you still have the original brake fluid you are way overdue for a complete flush. At this point your fluid will have been aerated and likely have a good bit of water in the system, and the boiling point will be lower then spec. Easy DIY job - best of luck!

Richard- the physical appearance of brake fluid means very little. Good fluid can look blecch and vice versa.

Thanks for advice. I pumped a full liter through the brake system so I think I'm good.
Thanks Richard
