What brake fluid is best for the stark varg?
I'll get some motul thanks!Don't over think it. Go with a good quality fluid like Motul 660 but more important, change/flush it with new every 6 months or more often under extreme
thanks for the response. I read someone say something about using mineral oil which is what I use on my mountain bikes, but never in any dirtbike I've ownedDon't over think it. Go with a good quality fluid like Motul 660 but more important, change/flush it with new every 6 months or more often under extremes conditions.
Probably, but if you're a brake dragger, race Super Moto or otherwise are extra heavy on the brakes the fluid suffers, requiring more frequent changes.Once a year is fine
Hahaha my 2015 Honda Civic with over 200,000 miles has never had a brake flush and I owned it since new. And it has never had a clutch either. Only 2 parts have been replaced ever (besides normal wear stuff). 1 water pump at around 150k and 1 AC compressor at 180k.Dot 4 if you're fancy. Once a year is a good rule. I personally do brake flushes, replace wheel bearings, check/lube swingarm/linkage bearings, etc.... once a year all at once as preventative maintenance. But if you like doing it more often, knock yourself out. I can't convince my car customers to do a brake flush once every 4 years.
Context??? It wasn't a comparison i.e. no apples no oranges.So what? Apples and oranges.
My 2013 Korean car has 220 miles and never a brake flush but I don't ask for it the same as my bikes.
Let's move on.
Read the post the context was clear. I was responding to abnormal wrenches post which was clearly quoted. And I was not quoting you or deliberately referring to anything you said. If you don't like the conversation don't read it. If you want to be topic police please do so in your own conversations.The context is this thread is about M/C brake fluid. Then you jumped in about your civic.

Don't care. I did, I will, bye.Read the post the context was clear. I was responding to abnormal wrenches post which was clearly quoted.

Turns out, brake fluid absorbs water in the exact same way whether it is a bike or a car.So what? Apples and oranges.

I am not against fluid changes or flushes and I have been driving for over 50 years without an accident and you would probably rather see me on your streets than many others. I make sure my cars are well maintained and I do my own work or have them serviced by mechanics I know and trust.Can you let me know when you're in my area, so I can make sure I'm not on the same roads you are?
I work on cars for a living, and I see your car almost every day. "Never had a problem", until the brakes suddenly fail. Because shocking news for those that don't know, if you don't do maintenance, it will work until it doesn't. And I'd prefer not to be on the same road when you suddenly discover the super obvious result of that attitude.
