One more thing thing after i rode the bike home i noticed "PUT MINERAL OIL ONLY" on my new magura unit and i saw the mechanic putting DOT4 brake fluid in it so i searched on the internet and found out that DOT brake oil will disintegrate the gaskets inside the magura pump . So i called my dealer and the mechanic said it can't do any damage. After that i called a KTM dealer (they have magura units on their bikes) and they said i had to flush it with hydraulic mineral oil asap. So went to the KTM dealer bought some motorex hydraulic mineral oil for magura clutches. Then i asked to check the unit for damage and replace the DOT with mineral fluid. It took him 40 minutes and i had to pay 40? (8? for the mineral fluid).

That skips the balance to 307 ? for everything.

I hate it that nowadays most bike shops just want your money and occasionaly ripp you off if you haven't bought your bike in their shops
