I heard you can use ATF.

ATF is light weight dino oil with red color and an anti-oxidant package in it.
Brake fluid is glycol and alcohol and some other goodies to make it last longer.
I don't think the two interchange all that well .......

ATF has a lower boiling point, I guess.

What ever Suzuki puts in is good and lasts a long time.

I thought the critical thing about brake fluid is that it's hydrophobic (won't absorb water), which would rust the brake system.
(We've kind of wandered off from the original topic, haven't we.)

I actually did substitute some power steering fluid (I think, maybe trctor hydraulic fluid) for brake fluid in a 4 wheeler that did not work. It swelled up the seals and stopped well right up until it went up in flames.
And no, the brakes did not start the fire.

Bill, I'm beginning to think you just like trolling on this site just to piss people off with your wild, baseless claims of unnecessary maintenance. Whatever magical rituals you do to your bike, keep them to yourself. The rest of us will stick to proven good maintenance.
I'm sure he keeps all his no maintenance cars and bikes in tuperware.
cheese man its the cheese!!!
