c model parts list

[John Kokola]

I don't think that anyone's mentioned DOT 5.1, which is fully compatible with DOT 3 and 4, and does have higher boiling points than 3 or 4. Long, but informative: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_brakefluid_1a.shtml --John Kokola -----Original Message-----

>From: Norm Keller > >Do not use DOT 5 brake fluid. AS previous posts said, it is not compatible with other fluids. > >Additional issues are that it has been known to turn into a jelly which is difficult/impossible to remove. > >No time to go into detail but in short: >-Regular brake fluids absorb moisture which the military thought was a bad idea since the moisture tends to drop out into lower areas during temperature changes. >- This moisture drop out, combined with copper deposits in the system, create damaging corrosion (usually in the form of pitting) in the bottom of wheel cylinders, calipers and master cylinders. >-It was decided to develop a non-hygroscopic (non-water absorbing) brake fluid to avoid the problem with vehicles in storage by the military. >- Problems, turning to jelly, incompatibility with other fluids and......you guessed! Since it doesn't absorb water, the water which enters the system due to air cycling and condensation is not removed by brake fluid changes, stays behind and corrodes. > >People tend to believe that the higher the DOT number, the better the brake fluid. This is true up to DOT 4 but not for DOT 5. > >Gotta go, > >Norm > > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >

Hello, I am looking for a parts list for the KLR650 C model (european). Does anyone know where I could download it? Or has a copy to sell to me? Or even is willing to photocopy it for a fee?
