Sounds freakin' amazing!

Brake fluids can get really confusing. Dot 3 and Dot 4 are compatible but Dot 5 is not. Now, Dot 5.1 is compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4, but not with Dot 5. :S Who comes up with this stuff?? :laugh:

DOT 4 is just a better DOT 3. TThey can be used completely interchangeably with each other. Valvoline only sells DOT 4 now and the label says "DOT 3 & 4" . DOT 4 is more heat resistant and less prone to absorbing moisture. Go with DOT 4 and stick with it.


DOT 5 is synthetic and can cause problems with seals and brake lines depending on construction and configuration, A complete overhaul and upgrade would be in order to use DOT 5.

That's exactly what I use! Seems like really good stuff. I got mine at autozone.

When you guys get together, can you see about taking some action video of the bikes cruising together. Maybe have a friend with a chase bike taking video of the two of you. Two unique killer KZzzzz's side-by-side!!! Would make a great video.
