Thanks to all who have helped! We have until end of March to pay for the server. As of right now we are only about $160 short. So we are very close. I'm sorry I can't cover it but my personal situation is bad bad. Ride safe if it's warm enough out where you are because it has been freezing here in Michigan. Take care of yourself and yours.

| XV-920 (1981-1982 SHAFTDRIVE) | |
| XV-1000, XV-1100 | |
| Final Gear Oil (SHAFT DRIVE) | |
| Engine | |
| 400 F and above | SAE 20W/40, SE-SF |
| 400 F and below | SAE 10W/30, SE-SF |
| Brake Fluid | DOT 3 or DOT 4 or DOT 5.1
Concerning Brake fluids. Dot 3, 4 & 5.1 can be mixed together for they are all glycol-based.
Dot 5, however, is not compatible and can not be mixed with any of the above brake fluids for it is Silicone based and can not, repeat, cannot be mixed with any of the above brake fluids. It has a distinct color bluish-purplish color. http://www.clearcoproducts.
The chart makes it look as though it can be mixed "DOT 3 or DOT 4 or DOT 5". If Dot 5 is to be used, the whole braking system will have to be purged of all of the glycol-based fluids and Vice Versa.
*Edit from ViragoJoe, He might have just saved a few brake systems from this added knowledge*
