OK, for two more cents.....
If you really want to make sure your hydraulic system is clean and clear, 
first get a brake system thingie (I've forgotten the danged name of it but 
you put the fluid in the reservoir and it pumps it into the M/C and all you 
do is open the bleeders one at a time to purge the system) and fill it with 
alcohol.  Use this to flush your entire system.  You could unhook the lines 
after this and blow them out with air.  Now using the thingie again, refill 
and purge the hydraulic system.  If you are worried about seals and rubber 
components or whatever being unlubricated, you can obtain an assembly lube 
for brake systems from a major brake supply house or NAPA might carry it.  
The brake bleeding unit and the assembly lube I have used many times when 
working for fleet services of city of L.A., and yes we had access to stuff I 
would love to own.  The bleeder you should be able to rent somewhere.  I'm 
trying to remember who made the ones we had.  I'll post that info as soon as 
I remember.
