Guys, I know some of you are already using this kind of fluid. Would you recommend it on the xty? can you really feel the difference? If it is possible, what brand would you recommend and are there any mods that needed before using it?

wala naman difference sa feel...ang benefit ng dot 4 is when you do a lot of heavy braking...di nagbabago viscosity ng fluid mo...if youre not into racing/ track, baka overkill...

ano say mo migs?

pero sa brand, get the motul..rbf600....

for the street wala ka problem with dot 3. if you do occassional funruns ok yung dot 4, if you do trackdays then rbf. rbf is more hydroscopic so you'll need to replace it more often which might be a hassle for most of the owners here Smile

Migs, you mentioned about replacing the fluid, how often should the fluid be replaced?

or every 2-3 years with regular dot3 imo.

if it gets black right away you must be braking really hard all the time.
