Dot4 is fully compatible with Dot3

Understood. I just don’t see a reason to change?
Better brakes isn't a reason??

Stu…. How would DOT 3 make the brakes batter?

Higher boiling point yields less fade from fluid becoming compressible , but material of pad has to be capable of handling high heat operation too...

Good points that I consider when working on the brakes for my road race car. Not so much for my +50 year old Honda cb750….
