lucas-87 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would it be better than propper fluid ive read there a lot more responsive with water and do you guys know the dilution ration for the water & antifreeze also does it need to be distiled ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Beck Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 It will feel more responsive and less flex this is because water doesn't compress like oil it will feel better but not as powerfull normal water is okay with antifreeze the ratio is not that important Ur better of just using antifreeze on its own without water if not use de ironised water pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Tap water on it's own does the trick. Some people prefer adding some anti-freeze which makes sense if you leave your bike in the shed/garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
