There are tons of topics on the dale vs. Honda and YFZ question - just go back a few pages in the lounge.

You can use grocery store mineral oil but it will be sluggish come cold weather. Most quad shops should be able to order the magura blood. If you cant find any Ill send you a bottle.

awsome
so just plain on mineral oil WILL WORK
its summer now so cold weather is not a problem
but u know for a fact that plain on mineral oil WILL WORK

cuz im not low on fluid, i just need some to put in a syringe and squeeze it in like they show u in the manual and make sure there are no bubbles comin though the top thing (whatever is inside the master cylinder that floats there)

Yes I have been using it in my speed for over a year. Magura blood doesnt get so thick in the cold.

Yep Its the blood of the little know but highly venomous trail weasels. tongue.gif I kid I kid Actually its the brand name of mineral oil magura uses in thier hydraulic clutches. If you want to order a small bottle the part number is 0999999-02 for a 2 ounces bottle. I recomend getting a couple bottles. Trail weasels ....sometimes I crack myself up.

i use normal mineral oil in mine and it works great (havent had any experience in cold weather yet) i have a lifetime supply becuase all the store had was a huge bottle of the stuff. probably a quart or so
