This time I’m changing the hose clamp to Norma 20-32. Modern hose clamps don’t have slits and use a convex method to tighten. When there’s a slit, the flesh gets pinched and the hose clamp itself loses strength.

I also removed the reservoir tank and gave it a light cleaning. Parts like this won’t last forever, so as motorcycles get older, you start worrying about more and more things.
Brake fluid is Golden Cruiser DOT4
It was in very clean condition, which was reassuring.
