For water cooled bikes how often should the Raditor hoses and any related gaskets/parts be replaced?
Also how often should the fluid be changed?
Generally, should brake fluid be changed after so much time or miles?
I don't want to assume whats good for a car is good for a bike. Mine is to be driven only in good to fair weather 9 months out of the year. Its also been a couple decades since I rode. But I have a license, in the process of buying a bike now, so I'm looking forward to the first solo ride on my own bike
For water cooled bikes how often should the Raditor hoses and any related gaskets/parts be replaced? When needed. Bad Maintenence, sun exposure, bad fluids, stupid people are just some of the variables that make this vary
Also how often should the fluid be changed? Depends on the fluid, how much you ride etc. Your not going to change your fork oil as much as your regular oil. It should all be in the bike's owners manual. I change my oil about 6 times a year, brake fluid 3x, shaft oil every 10,000 etc- but that's with my riding

When I get a new used bike I change everything. That's a good starting point.
