Sure, you can buy brake fluid with a picture of a motorcycle on it, but any DOT 4 will mix with any other DOT 4. Don't worry about it. FWIW, I always buy the cheapest DOT 4 I can get. Just buy as much as you need but no more, buying a big quart bottle for a bike is false economy, since you should not use brake fluid that has been sitting for any length of time in a container with the seal broken. Brake fluid absorbs water from exposure to air, which lowers the boiling point a lot. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
