It is a much bigger bottle at 1L compared to the RBF at 500ML, but still more expensive when you do that math...

The last time i ordered it, it has leaked in the box some. I called up my distributor and they wouldn't let me return it since it was leaking. It was free!
And it is $80 a bottle

So because youve never had brake fade, my fading must be just my imagination

I am cooking the RBF with the dual quad setup, never had a problem with it on any other setup Ive ever had...So I just want to try some different fluid as Ive been using strictly RBF for a couple years now...

Does yours feel soft when you start riding, and get harder as you heat it up?

First session or 2 it was consistant, but now after 5+ sessions its starting to change with temp...

Yep, thats what mine is doing. It gets hard at the lever after a hour or 2 and loses bite. I'm about to do a big rotor kit and will be using a rear Busa caliper for the footbrake and the standard 4-piston caliper for the handbrake. I'm gonna run this Castrol when I get everything in.

I got my billet master hooked up with my 4 piston setup and i can say that it is rediculously touchy compared to my r1 master i was running on my 03. so touchy its hard to do combos without hitting it to hard and dropping to far below BP. Gonna take some time to get used to it but amazing braking power thats for damn sure. **** will lock up with a pinky no problem

Thats whats ******* with me the most, I can deal with the changes in lever hardness simply by adjusting my lever....But the loss of bite really ***** up my game......

The other day it felt glazed and just didnt have the bite it did when I first put it on...I did nothing about it and just kept riding, and it came back but feels really soft when I start riding and gets harder as I heat it up.....

The bite was great but more important for me is consistancy....

I hope with the bigger rotor it will generate less heat and will take less effort to use.
