I have a feeling that the brake fluid in my S1W has been in there since the day it was born! Is a brake flush required at all? What have you guys been doing?

Thanks in advance.

yes, it is -- no system is entirely airtight, and brake fluid will absorb water from the atmoshere -- swap it out -- you'll likely find your brakes are much firmer, which will allow you to modulate them much more precisely

also, it'll keep the system from rusting solid over a winter
