Dot 3 vs Dot 4
Our bikes are supposed to take Dot 4 brake fluid.
I have some Dot 3 brake fluid. Research shows the biggest different is Dot 4 has a higher boiling point.
Can I use Dot 3? Thoughts?

Re: First oil change at 600 miles
Good job on your first oil change on your GZ.
I did mine a couple of months ago. I freaked out when all that oil leaked from the filter all over my bike. I thought I had done something wrong!
