Race/track Brake Fluid

I thought the SRF was specifically brilliant but short lived? Very hygroscopic?

I never do a full flush.

But I do take 2 squirts from each caliper and master once or twice a day each day of racing.

I?ve never had an issue with it and I?ve been using it for years. That said I completely flush the system prior to the start of every season and routinely monitor the fluid throughout. My only complaint is that it?s expensive!

I guess <year would be fairly short lived in oem world.

Indeed. I certainly wouldn?t use Castrol SRF on a road going bike as it would just be a waste of money.

660 lasts whole year

It's waste of liquid to flush it before euro tracks

Race/Track Brake Fluid

Each to their own but for me it?s peace of mind. Everyone has their own way of preparing a race or trackday bike. If I know I?m going to be doing 3 or 4 days straight on a European track in hot conditions then I will put fresh fluid in.

RBF660 here. Used it for a few years now and always been happy with how it performs. Definitely a marked improvement over the stock fluid. I'll change mine at the start of the track season and if i am lucky to do a fair few days on track i will change it again mid season. (I strangely enjoy bleeding brakes)

how are people doing a full flush with new fluid? with the ABS module installed you need to cycle the pump. few times to clear it out.

Just once mate, even this is not really required

As far as I am aware (Someone else may chime in with more knowledge). You bleed the brakes no differently to a non-ABS system. The only time you'd cycle the pump is if you are starting with a completely dry system or have managed to get air trapped in there. To cycle the pump you will need a GS-911 tool. However if you managed to get a bit of air trapped in the system from a bleed you can take the bike out, put it in rain mode and brake hard a few times to cycle the pump, then go back home and bleed the brakes again.

 

[alex]

Yeah. The trick is to not get air in as you flush it. 2 people make it faster.

I'm planning on replacing the M/C and changing the fluid, so i'd likely be getting some air into the system doing that ?

I used in the past RBF 660 (very good, I have 700 but have not used it yet), Brembo HCT (very good) but THE BEST I HAVER EVER USED is Castrol SRF. The only downside is that I need to change it every year, which I do it anyway.
