So I've recently had brake fade a few times on my 06 R1 and want to know the best fluid I can use to minimize this from happening. Yes I know you already gunna say don't use your rear brake as much, or get a different bike, but its what I got, and what I have to learn on till I can get somethin better. If you don't already know an 06 R1 the motor is moved forward and the swingarm is longer so its extremely hard to hold at balance point without riding the brake the whole time. It either wants to go up or come down.

What is the best fluid I can use to minimize this brake fade from happening?

I know there were plenty of older posts on this but I want to get some new insight.

 

Dot 4 is what it calls for but sounds like you ate heating the pads not the fluid might want to check into better pads and rotors

 

Stop killing the breaks and learn to ride with engine break and balance
