Sorry I'm being really lazy here, can someone confirm that normal brake fluid is ok in a sherco. I understand Gagas need mineral oil ?
Also are there any specific anti freeze solutions I need to use. I tend to use the pink long life stuff in cars as it has better anti corrosion properties. Currently seems to have some blue stuff in it.

Thanks

Normal DOT 4 brake fluid will be fine in the Sherco.

Personally, I tend to stay away from the pink and orange long life coolants in the bike. Some of that stuff has nasty residues. I do not neccessarily think the corrosion resistance is better, just lasts longer, but not an issue in the bike as I drain mine annually. One thing for sure, don't mix them! And use distilled water when mixing your batch as it in itself helps things get along nicely.

All sounds like good advice...Many Thanks
