RE: Brake Fluid specifics???
It says right on the resevoir cap what you need. standard DOT 4 brake fluid. If you aren't sure about your brakes don't mess with them they are your life. Take tham to someone who knows them. You shouldn't need to add fluid to your brakes unless you bleed them. If your fluid is down it may indicate that it is time for a pad change (again don't do unless you know what you are doing).
Be sure to keep the fluid off your painted surfaces. It will strip paint like you wouldn't believe.

Since I've done alot of bleeding I can say that it's not difficult. Speedbleeders make the job even easier. Make sure to buy the thread stuff they sell. It wears out ever so often, and it's handy to have it right there when you need it.
If you opt to not go with speedbleeders, I'd recommend the MotionPro one way valve. It has the hose and valve all in one kit.
I also have ditched the standard fluid and use Valvoline Syn fluid. I got a good deal on a large bottle.
Change your fluid when it get's dark. Use a large cotton towel (bath towel) and cut a square out to fit over the MC. You will have to turn the bars left or right depending on the task at hand. 2 people make the job go better and safer, one to pour and watch fluid and the other at the caliper.
Pour the fluid slowly and away from the piston hole as to keep air bubbles from entering the system. If you have any doubt about bubbles the Motion Pro tool excels here.
FWIW, I use the two simultaneously.

SpeedBleeders are a must...

I would also recommend AMSOIL Brake Fluid. It has a high boiling point and is one of the best out there.
