Yeah, it's got like three times the stopping power of DOT 4. It's a specialty fluid though. They usually keep it behind the counter along with blinker fluid and other specialty fluids.

Pads? 10 minutes...
Do not top-up the brake fluid reservoir until AFTER you change out the pads.
You might find you don't really need to top-up.

For actual safety sake, I feel i need to chime in here and mention that you should NEVER use DOT 5 brake fluid in a system designed for 3 or 4. DOT 5 is NOT compatible with 4 and will destroy your brake system if mixed together.

DOT 3 and DOT 4 are completely compatible as is DOT 5.1. DOT 5, however, was designed as a military and special purpose fluid that is silicone based where as 3/4/5.1 is a synthetic derived from a glycol base.

FWIW, a little tip on brakes, most modern motorcycle use DOT4 fluid due to temperature resistance and lower water absorption characteristics, however, in a pinch you can safely use DOT 3 if need be but one should try and brake easy to keep temps down on the brake system and prevent boiling (i.e. vapor/air introduction into the brake system).

If doing just a pad slap, as freddy mentioned, it is a 10 minute job.

And this is what happens when Justin is awake at 4am for no reason.

Also, it is worth it so get Sintered HH pads (even the cheap ones on ebay are fine as thats what I use). Stopping power is soooo much better. ceramics are good but need heat and carbon/organics are not so great but work if you're on a budget.
