New High Temp Brake Fluid

[stevewithOCD]

One thing you should consider OCD is not only boiling points but the fact that non silicon brake fluid (dot3 & 4) draws water too itself, which can cause the aluminum and steel in the system to corrode.

Also dot5 silicon brake fluid keeps you seals like new, protecting the rubber in the system.

If your not experiencing boiling you might not need the extra temperature protection but it’s nice to have the corrosive resistance of the dot5.

Not sure if this stuff you listed is hydroscopic or not?

From what i've read so far, this does have silicon in it, but is compatible with 3, 4 & 5.1
It is supposed to be the least compressible or "squishy" of ALL the fluids.
Bike & Formula racers use this stuff exclusively.

So far the only downfall is the price, but i'm still researching for chits & giggles.

AGAIN: I DON'T need this stuff & am not sure why anybody has brake fade issues on these machines, but it is not my job to reconfigure people's riding styles, but rather put ALL the options out there for people to see.

NOTE: DOT5 does NOT play well with others & the whole system needs to be flushed well for proper use

Not really an expert here, but I understand that you may have a "spongy" feel in the brake using DOT 5. I've heard that it's best for hardly used cars, etc.

Some guys are apparently afraid of trees and large rocks!

I have no idea what you're talking about. What do these "brakes" you speak of do?

The lever on the left that you squeeze when you see a “pub” sign.

Hey, blew a belt one day while trying different clutch springs... installed new belt, good to go.
Come into the next corner and squeezed that lever on the left, oh sheet no brakes.
After further inspection there was a chunk of belt stuck between the pads above the rotor.

I did make the corner and stopped safely in the next zip code.
