Anti Freeze And Brake Fluid

Sorry I'm being really lazy here, can someone confirm that normal brake fluid is ok in a sherco. I understand Gagas need mineral oil ?

Also are there any specific anti freeze solutions I need to use. I tend to use the pink long life stuff in cars as it has better anti corrosion properties. Currently seems to have some blue stuff in it.

Thanks

Personally, I tend to stay away from the pink and orange long life coolants in the bike. Some of that stuff has nasty residues. I do not neccessarily think the corrosion resistance is better, just lasts longer, but not an issue in the bike as I drain mine annually. One thing for sure, don't mix them! And use distilled water when mixing your batch as it in itself helps things get along nicely.
