there are many DOT4 compliant brands around. in fact every brand that makes DOT3 probably also makes DOT4. You will get Castrol, Bosch (same as KBX fluid), and TVS-Girling among others . If the store doesn't understand DOT ratings just tell him white brake fluid. DOT4 simply has a higher boiling point than 3. But you must be aware that there's a risk of component damage or seal failure when changing from one type of brake fluid to another. It's not always so, so i can't say that changing from DOT3 to 4 WILL screw ur brakes. Mine didnt. but be aware. You must completely drain the old fluid out and then rinse out the whole system using the new DOT4. i would keep it in there for an hour or so, pumping the brakes every so often and then flush that out too and refill and bleed a second time.

a proper a/f ratio will have an optimum co level. incorrect co levels simply mean incorrect combustion.

i topped my disc with DOT 3 brand was KBX dot 4 was not available at tht time colour-red.....

will go to sc for this CO thing now....

afaik only the cbz (which was probably the first indian bike with a disc - rxz?) and then the karizma used white DOT4. All later bikes i've seen with red DOT3.

btw, u might have to search a bit. for eg. in vashi none of the typical shops have DOT4. there are a couple of huge parts stores at turbhe which seem more like distributors. these guys have multiple options available. so it's just a question of finding the right place.
