Brake fluid question, NEED HELP
 

ok i started changing the brake fluid in my hawk, then i ran out, resior still looks a little dirty.. i used spectro gloden synthetic DOT 4.. my question is can i mix a different brand of DOT 4 sythetic??? thanks

I think so...it will affect the overall boiling point for sure.

DO NOT MIX IN DOT 5!

i have never heard of a problem mixing ( brands ) of the same DOT number.

YES THAT SHOULD BE FINE ALL FLUIDS HAVE A SPECIFIC STANDARD TO MEET YOU SHOULD BE FINE.

As long as it's synthetic and the same DOT #, you'll be fine...

According to my local dealer and his race crew, Mercedes-Benz makes an awesome brake fluid. They are changing my SH lines over now for some custom-made braided lines, and they are going to drop in the MB fluid. We'll see how it works...

I've been using straight KY jelly and even works in a mercedes-benz...front or back seat...LOL!
:rotf::rotf::rotf:

Maybe I should try the K-Y!....:D

Seriously, I just got the bike back today. I was babying it coming home, as it has new tires (PP 2CTs) in addition to the new brake lines. Nevertheless, talk about a difference...with the new lines and fluids, I'm pretty sure I could do a stoppie with just one finger on the front brake...not that I'm going to try.:shock:

Dang! Now I'll never be able to keep you with you:(

Just kidding Bro! Glad to hear you're all hooked up cuz now maybe you can keep up with your wifie;)

Yeh, she's pretty quick on her CBR600..I'll try to keep up. :D

We're headed up to the mountains weekend after next, for some real curves. She's itching to get the CBR up there...not that I'm complaining. We're taking her CBR, the SH and also the GB500. I can't wait to get the GB up there. Its old school cafe racing style, and ought to be fun taking it up and hanging out with it at the Gap!

Stay safe, bro!

Have fun in the Mountains and watch out for Smokey Bear:eek:
