dot5 brake fluid; feel so much safer now when on the street!

Actually now that I read the bottle. The Mercedes brake fluid is DOT 4 PLUS not Dot5 Wet Boiling Point 358 degrees SAE Spec J1703, ISO 4925 No, I don't think it was actually made by Mercedes but it was what I had on hand. Didn't create any issues with the old KLR brake fluid....says (DOT4/DOT3) right on the label so I gather it was compatible...though I bled the hell out of the system to be overly safe. I just thought it was synthetic because it was for a newer Mercedes and I could cause some expensive damage if I got the wrong one--there is much more bleeding involved in a car. TWO FINGERS BABY! My 04 KLR now feels so much safer on the street: HID headlight slim ballast headlight kit Progressive fork springs LED Tail/Brake Light Front over-sized EBC Contour Rotor Galfer Front SS brake line Galfer Rear Wave rotor BUT, NOW I KRYPTONITE LOCK IT WHEN I AM IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS.
