I intend to change out my brake fluid next week to Motul, and I have a handle on the procedure involved. It seems to me that I am leaving the original break fluid in the clutch lines and slave cylinder; can this get back into the brake system and pollute my new, high temperature brake fluid?

Also, do I ever need to bleed the clutch?

Thanks for any info.

Two systems are independent. Uses the same fluid type but completely separate circuits.
Clutch fluid is not normally subjected to the same heat as brake fluid but still needs freshening because of moisture (hydroscopic fluid)........ but probably not as often.
