Brake fluid for motorcycle CAGIVA Elefant, Canyon,...

Here you will find all the brake and clutch fluids for your CAGIVA Elefant, Canyon, motorcycle.... It is important to have some knowledge when buying brake fluid. You often see DOT1, DOT2, DOT3, DOT4... DOT represents the standard that brake fluid meets, the higher the DOT, the more efficient and quality it is! However, this is not the only parameter to take into account. You should know that if your brake fluid cover indicates for example DOT 3, you will need to put at least DOT 3, however you can also put DOT4, DOT5 or higher! Why should you change your brake fluid? A brake fluid wears out over time, it takes on moisture and loses its properties, this will lead to boiling in lower temperatures than normal, boiling = hard brakes or more brakes at all! A new DOT4 which resists 270°C for example, will only withstand 170°C once worn (wet). A wet liquid will also cause a seizure of the caliper, the master cylinder... We recommend bleeding the brake fluid every year, simply by emptying 5 or 6 reservoirs of fluid, adding new each time (purge by emptying the jar, fill with new... Rebleed by emptying, refilling with new... .)! This allows the air to be expelled with ease and the circuit to be maintained every year! Apart from the DOT, several qualities of liquid exist, if you drive every day on the road in standard or slightly sporty driving with an original or even prepared 2-wheeler. Select a good quality liquid in a standard DOT as indicated on your 2 wheel. However, if you drive in competition, you drive very sporty, you have racing brake pads (which develop a lot of heat). So select a top-of-the-range fluid with the highest DOT, in the company of good pads, a good brake disc, and why not an aviation brake hose, it will offer you very efficient, enduring and precise braking. !
