As bove the bke from 2005 -present with nissin master cylinders are being recalled due to brake hoses absorbing moisture and the moisure is removing a protective layer in the master cylinder which can cause brake fade. The owners book does say brake fluid has to be changed every 2 years but people don't do it. The hand book on the new bikes (i've seenone for the GSXR1000) states brake hoses must now be changed at 2 years. I know my local dealer is saying it shouldn't be a warranty claim as the owners aren't changing the fluid. Honda and Yamaha agree with that as some of there bikes use the same master cylinders and they haven't issued a recall.
