Default Does everyone's hydrolic clutch fluid look black?

150 miles on my '06 model CBR liter bike and the hydrolic clutch fluid reservoir is showing the oil looking like coffee.

Is this normal for breakin?

Is it normal for after breakin?

Yes, it is normal. It turns dark and remains that way.

+1 ... even if you flush it, it will turn dark again very soon. It's normal.

This was a topic of a recent thread, but in a nutshell, both the brake and clutch fluid are the same, but the clutch fluid runs right next to the engine, and the high heat cause the discoloration. Nothing you can do, and from what i have been told it really doesn't cause any problems.
