Clutch Fluid Choices

[BAD MIKE USA]

Are there any options for clutch fluid other than the BMW brand? BMW Hydraulic Clutch Fluid Blue V10. Are there any good substitutes? I'm changing handlebars and brake and clutch lines and need the appropriate fluids. I have found brake fluid, PENTOSIN 1224116 DOT 4 LV Brake Fluid. I need the clutch fluid, preferably something I can get from AMAZON shipped to my home.

You can use Magura Blue Royal Blood fluid - it is the same mineral based fluid as BMW.

Magura Blue Royal Blood, sounds right for my R18! Thank you.

The BMW clutch fluid is pretty inexpensive.
Why look for something else?

I will buy it if they will ship it reasonably. The Magura brand is available on Amazon. Nearest dealer to me is 75 miles. Seems to be a top brand, not a chinese knock off.

Magura may actually make the BMW clutch master cylinder - they make a lot of motorcycle components for other manufacturers.

It’s just mineral oil, BMW’s is actually pretty cheap. I don’t use any because I had my clutch lines replaced under warranty when the bike was new but its just mineral oil clutch fluid

I'm changing handlebars along with clutch and brake lines and I want to do the job myself. Its not about price, I just wanted to order the proper fluids and have them delivered. My nearest BMW dealer is 75 miles away. Amazon delivered yesterday!
