i need some feedback from you trackday/racers
« on: April 30, 2008, 09:50:12 AM »
ok what brake fluid do you use?
how often do you change it?
just want to know as i can now get a full range of castrol and silkolene oils
just want to know if its worth me stocking castrol srf brake fluid and silkolene pro race?
i always use top fluids but i never get asked for any just wondered why?
thanks

Ive used Castrol SRF and Motul

The SRF stuff is the best and dont need changing as often as lower priced fluids.

yeah last time I bought twas just a quick fix  :dontknow: but the point I am trying to make that the money I save if at all buying from you ..... I will lose on postage....

at the end of the day fluids aint that expensive and its just not something i'll waste my time buying mail order

i've got the srf in mine at the mo,but only because it was alreday in there when i got the bike.when my fluid needs changing will be going for the usuall dot 5.1 and see if i can tell any/much difference.i'm no racer so not sure if the benefit will justify the cost tbh  :icon_thumleft:

i dont use dot 5.1 as it has a lower boiling point than a dot 4 race fluid.
