As I understand it Dot 4.0 and 5.1 are compatible so you'll be fine feeding the 5.1 through.
My old race bike (SV650 Minitwin) had DOT 5.0 in which isn't compatible but I needed to do something with my brakes at Snetterton and the only thing available was DOT 4.0. I flushed the system with 0.5 litre of DOT 4.0 then bled it up. Never had a problem after that.
