VC the cap on the bottle says that because in 91 they only made DOT 3 and they didnt want you to use DOT 2.
DOT 5.1 is not a racing fluid and does not need to be replaced often. Most of your new cars will use DOT 5.1, it has a higher boiling point. I know you get brake oil instead of fluid but it is DAMN expensive, but it never boils or need replacing.
cool man...
got it. note taken. stored in that vast empty cavity between my ears!!! 😉 😉 😉
Q.1 How much do i need to change my brake fluid?
Q.2 Any ideas where to get 5.1 or this brake oil? Everywhere has dot4 or 3, will a bike shop have?
hydraulics place?
You can get the Motul Dot5.1 from Perry Yamaha, or any Yamaha bike shop I reckon, apparently its specced for use in the R1.
Only comes in 500ml bottles and it was about R120 a bottle iirc.
I flushed my focus's brakes a year or so ago with this and used just over two bottles to fully flush the system. It has stood up to a few track days since then. The old fluid felt a bit mushy after a couple of laps around the A1 circuit.
The motul RBF600 or 660 is one step up from the 5.1 but is much more expensive and not really required in my opinion.
Thx Guy
I have phoned everywhere here, this place is a hole
What about this?

looks good
think it is a 500ml bottle so will need two R480 eish
Ja eish.
Only need one bottle so getting it, will let everyone know how it goes
A bit costly:
R1400 EBC Yellow Stuff - Plus to my door delivery
R263.65 ATE Rear Pads
R253.40 ATE Racing Brake Fluid - Plus to my door delivery
R1917.05
It will be worth it.
How Easy is it to do yourself?
Its not that bad, if you worried bring it to my dad.
i need a big jack and some stands.
