The ITR owner's manual specifies DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Motul 600 RBF is a DOT 4 brake fluid, which means it meets Honda's specifications.

I use Motul 600 RBF in my ITR, and it works fine. Including the ABS. Highly recommended.

No, it doesn't. I have a bottle in front of me and it doesn't say either of those things. In fact, what it says is: "SUITABLE FOR STREET USE IN SYSTEMS REQUIRING DOT 3 OR DOT 4".

Next to the RBF 600 bottle, it says

RBF 600 Factory Line

100% synthetic fluid for hydraulic-actuated brake and clutch systems. Specifically designed to resist the high temperatures of actuated (steel or carbon) racing brakes and clutch systems.

EXTREME THERMAL RESISTANCE AND STABILITY: the elevated boiling point of RBF 600 FACTORY LINE (312°c / 593°F) enables effective braking even under the extreme conditions of competition.

VERY EFFICIENT WHEN RAINY: the very high wet boiling point (216°c / 420°F), is superior to conventional brake fluids provides a particularly efficient braking system in rain and put back the apparition of vapor lock.

NORMES : FMVSS 116 DOT 4 / SAE J 1703 / ISO 4925
