    Brake Fluid

    I know that DOT 4 is the standard, but I just went to Adv. Auto and they only had DOT 3&4. Is this acceptable for the steel braided lines on my 950? Or should I go find straight DOT 4?

    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Hit up NAPA- they have a separate DOT 4 product that's reasonably priced (and it's what I run on my racebike)

    I've never had a problem with it.

    Went and got some straight DOT4 from O'Riley's. Seems to work well so far. It's amazing how well the back brake works when you don't have a huge air bubble in it.
