Afternoon all,

Gen1T.....the clutch system is dry and I'll be replacing the standard for an Oberon as the seals are too expensive and this seems the better option. I'm going for Dot 4 as stipulated but wondering whats the adequate fluid to use.

Do I go for Comma/Morris etc stuff or the expensive Motul stuff that's advertised? The bike will be used for a quick blast here and there once sorted.

The system is totally dry at the minute so is it a case of filling, bleeding, filling, bleeding etc?

Cheers guys,

Steve

I would just buy a reputable brand, maybe Brembo’s own stuff if it’s stocked near you. The fancy high temp fluids have better performance heat wise but tend to be considerably more hydroscopic so need more frequent fluid changes.
