I assume you mean both the brake and clutch systems, since the reservoir is
shared. I have used a little over 1 liter when doing mine. One could possibily
do it in less if you had to, but fluid is cheap, I had lots, and we have a very
damp climate here in the winter. After 2 years, the fluid is usually dark brown.
Be sure to use DOT4 fluid, I usually go for Castrol if I can find it.
