cheekymonkey Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi All Going to have a look at fitting my line lock kit tomorrow. I need to bleed the brakes afterwards - CW replaced the brake fluid with Motul Brake Fluid a month or so ago, can I top up with any type?

Kranz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If you top up with anything lower than the grade that's in there then you'll reduce the effective grade to the lower one. I'm guessing that you have 5.1 in there, so best to top up with that grade. Halfrauds do a 5.1 if you're desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Cheers mate, I think I have some 5.1 already somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ordinary 5.1 is not the same as Motul, if I were you I'd stick with Motul, the old fluid was pretty mucky, it will do no harm to flush more Motul through, as the ABS pump will have mixed any remaining dirt into the fresh fluid by now. I have Motul RBF 600 in stock if you need it, can send with the rad, which is now here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boombastictiger Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 is it a big job to bleed the brakes yourself, i have heard it needs to go to a garage and get it pressurised etc... I want to fit my goodridge braded brake lines.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If you have a pressure bleed then you can do it on your own, if not it needs 2 of you, 1 pressing the brake pedal down while the other opens and closes the bleed nipple on the caliper. On a ramp it took me around 1 1/2 hour's to do all four calipers with a pressure bleeder, incuding fitting braded lines to the front calipers (we weren't rushing by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
