If you make a mistake on the brake bleeding and your going down the road and your brakes fail,...
If you mess up brakes, at which point will they fail? (assuming no leaks)

Well thats one thing I dont know how to do bleed the brakes so this will be better off if I let a mechanic do it but the only problem I have is hopefully he does change everything and dont pretend he did because I dont want to
pay money for no work done on my bike. Right now I will love to change all fluid because I bought this bike with 16,000 miles and If I change all these fluids it will make it new and since my clutch lever is getting loose because I need a new clutch with all these work its going to make my bike ride like new.

I had one question can I put one of those fuel injector cleaners in my gas tank?

If you don't bleed them correctly=failure in performance. Air bubbles in the line. Fuel injector cleaners won't hurt the bike.

ELJRC16- Seafoam is a better choice

Stephens- I asked the question to challenge your given advice, which in my opinion did not inspire confidence. Yes, it is important to warn of the risk of poor workmanship on a motorcycle, however if he botched the job will he find out in a moment of panic or will he find out on the initial test ride?

I think if approached from that perspective, perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the manner in which advice is dispensed to another person who may not be as experienced with a wrench.
