[ST] Brake Seals & Fluid

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok.  The moment of thruth is here and I have confirmed that the seals Sprint
Manufacturing sent me will in fact work on my Sprint RS fron calipers.  One
seal kit part number is N4C-K20 (Made in Japan).  I don't know if that
number is useful to anyone, but you now have it.  I assume they are the
Nissin version but the sticker doesn't say anything but the PN.  Anyway, for
12BP each one can't complain.

Now for the brake fluid:  The manual says DOT 4.  I went to my local
Autozone & Discount Auto.  Neither of them had straight DOT 4.  They had a
bunch of DOT 3.  The only other version they had was a synthetic from
Valvoline that said it exceeds all DOT 3&4 requirements.

Do I need to be going to a motorcycle shop to buy my brake fliud?  I don't
know if I would trust that synthetic cage stuff.
