I searched for a while and found a couple of things but I still want to ask.The owners manual and Service Manual says to use dot 3, is it ok to use dot 4 (like Motul RBF 600?).* Also what fluid would you recommend for the clutch?

 

yes it is ok to use dot 4. I use ATE super blue for the brakes and the Motul RBF600 in the clutch.

 

i use same fluid for clutch and brakes

 

How often do you change the clutch fluid?

ps; where are you stationed in SD? Im at North Island. Squadron.

 

DOT 4..... Confirm!

JET

 

+1 minus the motul clutch juice. You are supposed to change out the fluids approx every 12-18 months, possibly more often if you are in a high humidity area. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, it absorbs water even the good stuff.

 

The good stuff more so than others, I would say if you run motul, superblue,etc. you have to be on top of the flushing/changing regimen.

 

Yea, I change out my clutch fluid and brake fluid (both motul rbf600) once a year. I might try the Amsoil dot4 next time.

 

Im sold on amsoil everything else? didnt think about brake fluid, i will try that next time round.

 

how many bottle do I need for brakes and clutch?

 

I used 2 1/2 big bottles for my brakes, not sure on clutch. I'd say 4 liters to be safe?

 

what size bottles where u using? was it the same ones they sell on mynismo?

 

Dont know size right off hand, i just went w/castrols dot 4 (bigbottle)

 

i'm putting some amsoil in this weekend

 

Castrol SRF went in when I installed new brake lines on my '03 track model. No complaints at all.

 

Yea what size are u using when u say "big" bottles?

 

checking in.

 

I can bleed the brakes with a half liter of fluid, clutch I usually use under a pint.

ATE blue for my brakes
Normal off the Walmart shelf Dot 4 in the clutch

 

Why is that? ...........Seriously

 

No need, cluch never heats up the fluid enough. Probably would use something else on an 07/08 with the slave in the bell housing
