Xeramic Brake Liquid DOT5.1 250ml

- Full description of the high performance brake product Xeramic dot 5.1 - extreme thermal constant for karting

Give your braking system the protection and responsiveness it deserves with the xeramic Dot 5.1 brake fluid. Specifically formulated for the extreme requirements of high-level mechanical sports and karting, this high-end synthetic brake liquid repels the limits of physics to offer you a braking of a surgical constancy, from the first to the last round.

In karting, discs and brake calipers undergo massive thermal stresses, especially on gearbox karts (kz) or when repeated braking at the end of the straight line. The Xeramic Dot 5.1 is distinguished by its exceptionally high boiling point (greater than 260 ° C). This thermal stability avoids the phenomenon of "fading" (Vapor Lock), characterized by the formation of gas bubbles in the circuit when the liquid encloses, which makes the pedal soft and ineffective. Its low temperature fluid viscosity ensures instant pressure transfer from the pump to the pistons for immediate biting.

- The trick in Michel (the corner of the expert)

* "Hi Vibrators trappers! The Xeramic Dot 5.1 brake fluid in 250 ml bottle, it is the absolute weapon to have a brake pedal lasting like wood, even after 20 turns of attack under the heat wave. Xeramic is an ultra-recognized brand in international paddocks, and this fluid does not joke with safety.

My indispensable mechanical trick for your purges: the trap of moisture and well sealed bottle !

Remember a hydraulic gold rule: Brake fluids in DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are said hygroscopic. This means that they behave like real sponges and love absorb the moisture contained in the ambient air. The more a liquid takes moisture, the more its boiling point collapses (it goes from 260 ° C to less than 180 ° C!).

TIP number one: never buy big cans of one liter who will hang out open for a year in your garage. The 250 ml format of Xeramic is perfect: it contains battery the volume to make a complete purge (front + back on a kz, or two complete purges on a standard monuolite kart) without mess.

Tip Number Two: If you do not use all the bottle, close the original cap immediately after the purge. If the bottle remains open on the workbench while you go up your platelets, the liquid already begins to degrade. And finally, pay attention to your bodies: DOT 5.1 is an excellent stripper for paint and stickers. If you turn over the tank or floor, immediately go a big brake cleaner and wipe with a clean cloth. Fresh purge at each beginning of the season, and you can brake at the panel 'too late' with confidence! "*

Q: What is the difference between DOT 5.1 and DOT 5? Be careful not to confuse !

A: It is a fundamental distinction in mechanics! The Dot 5.1 (Since this Xeramic product) is a synthetic basic fluid (glycol), fully compatible and miscible with DOT 3 and DOT standard liquids Dot 5, On the other hand, is a silicone-based liquid (often of purple color). The two products are absolutely not miscible. Put Dot 5 (Silicone) into a circuit designed for the DOT 5.1 will instantly destroy your original cups and seals, causing a total failure of the braking system.

Q: Is this 250 ml bottle sufficient to completely purge a gearbox kart (KZ) ?

A: Yes, the 250 ml capacity is ideally calibrated. It allows to drain and comfortably purge the rear caliper of high power as well as the two small brake brake calipers that equip the KZ category karts, while leaving you a small margin of safety to make a booster during your first weekends. Running ends.

Q: How often does the brake fluid be replaced on a competitive kart ?

A: In intensive use in competition (league, championship), it is strongly recommended to replace the brake fluid every 3 to 4 races, or as soon as you feel a decrease in firmness at the pedal during the long sessions. For leisure use or training, a complete purge at least twice per season (spring and summer) guarantees optimal safety and prevents the internal corrosion of your cylinders and pistons of calipers.
