[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1459626, member: 257"] Yup. Of more a concern than the boiling point of the DOT3/4/etc is the boiling point of water and that the DOT3/4 is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from atmo). You're doing everything I was taught to do about it (flush every other year at a minimum). One thing that caught up a friend on a ride to Pikes Peak was that, he overlooked flushing his clutch. Having just come off an HD, he wasn't used to hydraulic clutches and simply overlooked it. At the top, he lost clutch control and didn't get it back until back to about the guard shack. (higher altitude boiling the water at lower temps) [/QUOTE]
