What fun to watch!  Wonderfully smooth, consistent and fast!  But that key fob was driving me crazy - can't see the tach.

Brake fluid?

The brake fluid is just above the lower level mark. Castrol Response dot 4 replaced every year, coming up for replacement soon. I would not be charging around with dodgy brakes. One other wildguzzi member has commented on the fluid and he seems to be able to tell that it needs replacement. The front fluid gets a bit discoloured but the back gets very dark. This is why I replace it every year. The cap is a bit tatty but that is almost normal for an alloy brake master cylinder cap. I try to keep my bike in good condition but it is not MotoGP perfect. By the way I was disappointed with the key fob getting in the way of the tach. I was using 7000 rpm as a shift point and grunting it down below 4000 at several parts of the track.
Cheers, voncrump

my cap looks similar, kinda like polish was left on and not wiped off.
