    Seconded. It makes the world of difference when the pistons and/or slides can move freely.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    Really? You sure? Cause a toasted big end says you don't put ANYTHING in your bike... (ill stop the petty digs soon, i promise)

    But the Kalamari Kid has a point, put good fluids in your bike. I always use Castrol brake fluid in everything, just cause i'm a brand bashing consumer whore.

    I've been using Castrol Response Super DOT 4 in our bikes for several years now. Bloody good fluid. The Super DOT 4 comes in a silver container (regular Response is in the red container), and is clear, it goes amber with age, and is a good indication on when to change it

    That's exactly what I use too. For some reason I always end up using Castrol products - Magnatec oil in the car, R4 oil in the bike, Response Super DOT4 in both, their rubber grease etc. and I used TTS Extra in my NS400 too.
