MZ125sx brake fluid

[67kev]

Hi, i'm doing some work on a friends son's MZ 125 SX (52 plate). Had to open up both of the hydraulic brake systems,(front and rear) and gonna re-fill / bleed, but don't know what spec (DOT 3, 4 or 5) fluid it has in at present. Can i just top up with DOT 3 or 4, or could it be the silicon based DOT 5? Anyone know what type they are factory filled with and also if a front master cylinder repair kit is available? Cheers 67kev.
