Motul Brake fluid
Upon searching and reading posts about brake fluid, it seems that people preferr motul brake fluid here. Therefore i called a local motorcycle shop and inquired about the product. They told me they can get a fluid call Motul Racing Brake Fluid 600.....is this the same as Motul RBF 600? I am asking cause this product needs to be ordered and i don't want to order the wrong part. He informs me that the product comes in 1/2 liter bottles....how many of these would i need for the complete flush. Also, would i have to clean out my system COMPLETELY before adding the new fluid? Thanks.

Would you like to guess what the "RBF" stands for?

RBF 600 is the stuff to get....lots of technical mumbo jumbo you can get from Motul, but bottom line is that it's the next gen Motul 600 fluid.
Mo' better fluid: slightly higher boiling point, and less hydroscopic.
I'm running it now...
And you really wanna get all that old stuff outta your system before putting the new good stuff in. Should take no more than 2l to do it as mentioned above.

I live up north, where the track season is about seven months long, so I change my fluid every spring. If I lived in an area where I were going to the track year round, I would change it twice a year.
It's also a good idea to change it any time you manage to boil it.

Re: Motul Brake fluid (nsxtcjr)
Thank everyone! I just ordered some Motul RBF 600. Should be getting them on Tues. But surprisingly, it only cost $10.95CDN a bottel which converts into roughly $7.50USD. Not bad eh?? Anyways, thanks for all the advice!

Re: Motul Brake fluid (eg-six)
Does anyone have any special techniques for purging the old (stock) fluid out of the system when switching over? Or do you simply pump the new stuff through?

Re: Motul Brake fluid (ITR.00-1282)
The old fluid is purged out by the new fluid as you add it to the master cylinder and gently pump your brake pedal with your bleeder screw open. Do not pump out your fluid and leave air in the lines or you will be using a lot more than 1 Litre to get all the air out. Do not press your brake pedal to the floor or you will damage the seal on the master cylinder piston and the whole master cylinder may have to be replaced as they do not sell rebuild kits for our master cylinders. If you use the stock bleeders it will take two people to bleed your brakes. If you use speed bleeders or these other one way valves that are attached to a clear bleeder hose you can do it yourself but make sure you keep your master cylinder topped up with fluid so you don't suck in any air.
Yes, Motul 600 RBF is very good fluid and you also got a very good price on it.

Re: Motul Brake fluid (Victor Penner)
i always thought when changing fluids to completely drain it out and then add.. i didnt know you could add brake fluid to old brake fluid..
On a similar note, my brake fluid is black.. i know its reached its boiling point and my brake pedal already seems mushy and sparatically (SP?) allows press to the firewall.. when i change the fluid to this motul RBF 600 should i drain completely or should i just pour and add to the old while bleading as victor suggested.. TIA
