Nice thing about bike brakes is they're sealed compared to autos. Keeps brake-fluid free of water-vapour for longer.

I'm major fan of DOT-5 fluid too. Just annoyed at amount of cleaning needed for switcheroo. Used it on my Supra track-car back in '80-90s. Even when brake-rotors were glowing red-hot, I wasn't getting any brake fade! Here's different car entering Corkscrew @ Laguna Seca.
