| Post subject: | Gator Tail Brake Fluid Type Change |
Does anyone know when Gator Tail changed brake fluid types? What model? I watched a video where Hoyt said to refill the caliper with DOT3 but the latest manuals are saying DOT5. DOT5 is silicone based and hydrophobic so it doesn't absorb water like dot 3 and dot 4 do, but they don't like to play nice together when mixed. My motor is a 2013 and didn't know what they put in there in 2013. My gut tells me to go with DOT5 because it is much better for that type of environment, but I didn't want to completely flush and start over if it was going to cause problems. Thought I'd ask here to see if any of you guys happened to know. Thanks, Chris |

Anyone know what type of brake fluid was used in 2013 for the GTR reverse brake system? |

Thanks...I picked up a new bottle. I've got some air in the system and need to bleed it and figured I'd do good to flush most of the old through anyway since it is a four years old. |
