Not a problem I \'ve come across SSTU?

I know plenty of people complain about Duke clutches being very heavy (only in comparison to Jap bikes) and if you cant get used to it then it can be sorted by changing to a bigger master cylinder. Changing old fluid wont help with the "heaviness", but will stop your clutch feeling worn out. Old fluid (with air absorbed into it) will compress itself rather than transmit the pressure to the clutch operating lever so you wont get as much push on the clutch mechanism as your pull on the lever. Cheers for the thought though.
What I would like to know is why has my clutch fluid gradualy gone black!?!
