Replacing Brake Fluid

Does anyone know how much break fluid is required to completely replace the stock fluid? I want to put in Motul, and need to know how many bottles I should buy. Thanks.

stock system holds around 1 pint. IN THEORY, if you don't spill any, you'd get away with that little fluid.

In reality, have a quart on hand

Thanks for the info. After starting this I read another tread on bleeding the brakes, and they pretty much said the same.

keep in mind that you won't be able to use any leftovers you have, if you've opened the containers. brake fluid sucks water out of the air like no one's business.
are you going to stainless lines while you're at it? bleeding brakes is a pain in the @$$...
