Team

I would like to replace the brake fluid in my 2003 XB9S and know the requirement is DOT 4 brake fluid. Two questions: First should I use a specific brand (such as Buell/HD or other brand or is the $4USD per a 8 ounce bottle Preston brand ok. Second question is how much fluid do I need to change the front and rear system out?

Thanks

I would use Val. Fully Synthetic BF. Expensive but good stuff.

Manual will have capacity on this.

very little is needed. I bought a bottle of Belray DOT 4
because it was available and I like the bottle.
they had some synthetic dot 5.1 but it was $90 a quart!!
