Question Brake Fluid Quantity?

Looking to swap in MOTUL RBF600, wondering how much I need to order to do a full flush? I couldn't find the amount in the owners manual.

Motul comes in .5 liter bottles. You can try two but three might be be better.


Or, for a better option , flush the system with a fluid you like and then use one liter of Castrol SRF. Yes. It's pricey. Yes it's worth it

A bit confused, why would I flush it with a different fluid before SRF? Shouldn't I just flush it totally with SRF if I'm going that route?

Just changed my pads and flushed the fluid, used just under one bottle of SRF.

SRF runs around $70-80 a bottle. I would personally just take care and flush with it and bleed and you can generally do so with a liter.

SRF will last you a year with bleeding in between events.

Get two bottles of SRF and you are good to go for the initial fill and bleed for the year.
