fwiw, I don't care if or why people use a wristband to cover a reservoir. |
I've been using silicone based fluid in this bike since 2006, which is also the last time I changed it btw and I've been using it in every bike since at least my '01 or '03 GSXR, I'm not sure. The requirement is that you flush your system completely, since I only make the change while replacing my brake lines, I'm pretty safe. BTW there isn't any reaction between the actual fluids but there can be between the different additives used.
