Don’t overlook your brake fluid! One of the most neglected maintenance items on a Harley-Davidson is the DOT 4 brake fluid. Over time, DOT 4 absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, which can lower its boiling point, reduce braking performance, and contribute to corrosion and damage inside the brake system. Just because the fluid looks okay doesn’t mean it’s still doing its job properly.
Harley recommends replacing DOT 4 brake fluid every 2 years, or sooner. It’s a small service that can help prevent expensive brake system repairs and, more importantly, keep your brakes performing the way they should. If you can’t remember the last time your brake fluid was changed, it’s probably time to have it checked. 🔧🏍️
