Ok, its been 110 plus for awhile in my area. My bike is parked outside, in shade, but still warm by the time i start home. I have noticed my front brake is softer after the approximate 30 mins on the highway. I started to look into high temp brake fluid, and came across motul 700 (i attached wrong image, i absolutely mean 700. Not 600 or 660.) I am thinking of dumping that in when i do my next oil change. Does anyone else have experience with higher temp brake fluids? Kinda curious if it will work better in the summer and winter.

I dont experience a loss, the lever just feels softer. You let the bike rest, or in the morning its fine. Its been around 120F lately on my ride home from work. I replaced the front brakes @74k, and i am at 81k now. I did a full fluid flush front and rear when i did the front brakes. The rear brakes were done in may when i had the clutch done. I will check out the link for sure though, thank you.

Edit: i previously installed speed bleeders and they work a treat.
