I use plain old DOT 3. But because it's prone to absorb moisture i change it every 12 to 18 months.

Cheap and frequently changed is better than old and expensive any day.  You only need more expensive fluid if you manage to boil it.  (If you don't know what that's like, you've never done it! :) )

SP3

Cheap name brand DOT 3 or 4. No need for high buck stuff for street riding.

also dont buy big bottles. The seals are never perfect and they tend to leak air, which leads to moisture build up in "new" fluid. You can try to pick up some blinker fluid too. It'll give you a better feel.  [thumbsup]
