Here's a picture of the "track"

I would stay with the Dot 5.1 as you say it is the dot 5 that is the problem one, change your pads to Bendix or an equivilent race pad, better still get some P4 calipers & a Brembo radial master cylinder, thet set up will not fade.

The biggest, i.e. most effective, change you can make to your brake system is to fit 18x20 radial master cylinder and some good pads. Bendix, the new Brembo RS, Performance Friction, are all good choices.

I use EBC HH rated pads with stock Brembos and they alway do the job for me.

They are OK for road use but not very good for racing. Even EBC doesn't recommend them for racing. They go off very quickly.

best thing you can do is get a kx500... looking at the state of that track

yep, we were also thinking about it... enduro rules
