Hey, just a quick question. Which DOT brake fluid do you use in your VT. The only code i could find was something like HN 1796. What does that translate into in english. DOT 3 or DOT 4?

that will be fine.
Cool thanks mate I changed my master cylinder because my one was leaking from the switch on the bottom the new one isn't leaking but I've put a litre of fluid through and still no peddle and still air in the system do I just need to use more fluid and keep bleeding till no air and I have peddle or is there something else I should do?

Did you bench bleed the M/C before installing it?

Nah I didn't is that the screw on the side of the mc? Can I do it while it's on the car or do I just have to take it off?

you can do it in the car need some one to push the pedal and hold while you crack the front line first to you see fluid than tighten do the same with rear line have a rag and water handy
you might have to bleed the brakes again if you got air in the abs
