RE: Clutch fluid. - 2

Thanks for all the responses.

I will just have to stump up for the BMW stuff from a dealer I think. The bike is still under warranty and I don't want to cause any problems. The Magura fluid I have seen on line seems to be a different colour from the stuff in my bike. If doing a fluid change in the future, I would certainly seek out the Magura though.

I am quite sure that you are right and that it is a branding con. Lots of companies do it but frankly, the possibility of saving five or six quid when I just need a little bottle of the stuff to top up is not worth the risk to- me anyway. In fact, I am not sure that I even need to top up. I only lost a few mls. and the clutch is working just fine.

When the bike is out of warranty, that will be a different story although to be fair, when I bought the bike and said that I would want to carry out my own maintenance, I was assured that so long as I used BMW parts, the warranty would be OK. So... back to square one really!
