Bleedin’ brakes!
Brakes that work well and tyres that grip are the two main things that keep us alive on two wheels.
Today we look at brake fluid and sadly I see so many bikes with fluid that is in a terrible state and the owners seem unaware of the potential damage to their braking systems, not to mention their safety.
As we are interested in classic motorcycles in CMM, I shall mainly concentrate on DOT 4 fluid, which is really an upgrade on DOT 3, a glycol ether-based fluid which many of our older bikes would have started life with. DOT
