    If you're doing brake fluid I think it's worth changing the clutch fluid as well. The less moisture in the cylinders the better.

    Also, unless you know they're good, it may be worth checking that someone local has slider kits in stock for justin.

    The only time I use 5.1 is in mountain bike brakes as they can get proper hot and there's nowhere for the heat to go. Unless you suffer from fade with new DOT4 just stick with it.

      Stick with dot 4 for road use. They are interchangeable but should not be mixed, so if you are changing from 4 to 5.1 you need to totally flush the system.

        Should that be synthetic or non-synthetic?
