Motul DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid

[jellyrug]

Big difference between DOT 5 and DOT 5.1, don't confuse the two.

DOT 4 will work fine, but DOT 5.1 even better. DOT 5 which is different is not compatible, but standard fill for Harley.

Linky for those interested.

I'm just curious Jelly, if Dot 4 lifts the rear tire off the ground what does Dot 5.1 do that 4.0 won't do?

It depends how often and with what frequency you lift that tire. 5.1 Will boil a bit later, so you can get a couple of extra tire lifts.

Incidentally, DOT 3 will lift the rear of the ground also.

I can pissin the reservor and you can still lift the rear too! I'll be happy to get that done for you if you'd like to give it a go!

Oh, and it's a lot less expensive than 5.1 and it won't change color over time either.
