Brake fluid is one of the necessary Lubricant of bike and it is very important for our ride, but most of us didn’t know the right usage of brake fluid, most of us never change this himself, as a result our breaking performance get down and it can cause major accident, so we should aware about this thing and maintain the brake fluid drain period, because using more than the drain period effect in brake fluid viscosity and also in the braking system, today we will mention about the usage of brake fluid and its drain period.
• Brake fluid has its own grade DOT3, DOT4, DOT5.1; most of the brake manufacturer recommends DOT3 and DOT4 grade brake fluid where DOT 5.1 is a racing brake fluid where brake manufacturer doesn’t recommend using this grade for everyone.
• Make sure you using the recommended grade on your bike while changing the brake fluid, it will increase the braking performance and you can use it for a long time also the viscosity will not affected soon.
• Brake fluid has a drain period of 10,000-20,000 kilometers itself, using over drain period will affect in oil viscosity and also the braking performance, but it’s better to change brake fluid every 10,000 kilometers that will ensure maximum braking performance.
• DOT4 brake fluid is better than DOT3 and it also lasts long and most of the brake manufacturer recommends this grade.
• Brake fluid is kind of acidic lubricant and if it spread out while using then it can be harmful for your bike painting, so make sure you using a fabric or anything else for cover your bike.

Here are some tips and tricks we mention for you, most of the users are not careful about this thing as a result braking performance gets down after a time, if you maintain those thing then there will be no issue and braking performance will be better, that’s all for today I hope it will help you.
