I have a 2006 Hayabusa and I have upgraded my OEM brake lines to Galfer Stainless Steel lines. I have also upgraded my OEM rotors to Galfer Wave Rotors front and back. I sent my brake and clutch reseviours, both front and rear calipers, and my new front/rear rotors to the chrome shop to get chromed. After receiving the parts back, I reassembled my calipers with new gaskets. I dipped them in D.O.T. 4. Now I am thinking about changing the fluid on my bike to D.O.T. 5. My reasoning is that D.O.T. 5 does not absorb moisture from the air, it is synthetic, and has a higher boiling point.
In order to do this, I am thinking about cleaning my brake lines with spray on brake cleaner to remove any D.O.T. 4 brake fluid or residue from my lines. I am also thinking of taking apart my brake calipers and cleaning them as well. Also, I have removed the clutch attached to the front sprocket and cleaned the piston inside as well Finally, I am changing all by brake bleeders to Speed Bleeders (Stainless Steel) Do you all think this is a good idea? Will this change cause any problems (i.e. brake failures, or corrosion to existing parts) Have I forgotten any steps? Please let me know what you think
