Cheers for the info Sharpie.![]()
The ACF50 should arrive by Friday, so will do the deed over the W/End.
Chain sprockets and drive train area clean to get all the old chain lube off tomorrow, inc inside the front sprocket case.
Drained Standard fuel out of the bike and shoved it in the car, then filled the FZS tank up with 'Super High Octane' fuel, put in Sta-Bil fuel stabiliser and a good slug of Marvel Mystery Oil then ran it for 10 or 15 minutes after the oil and filter change to get the stabilised fuel right through the system and the new engine oil filter full. :thumbup
Never used the aerosol can type. The small spray unit you get with the bottle, it comes out as a jet, not a spray. I been using it for years, and found the best way is to buy a bottle and invest in one of those small low pressure spray guns, usually hundreds of them for sale at bike shows etc. Warm the ACF50 up first in a bucket of hot water to make it flow easier, it makes a difference. Air pressure no more than 5psi, comes out as a very fine spray. You can then get it under the tank, inside the frame, everywhere really. Bin liners over the wheels and brakes first. All done in half an hour. Ragging it on takes ages and you cant reach all areas.
[/quote]I think that is what I mean when I say gloopy, it is in a spray can but as you say it comes out like a jet rather than a spray. A rag suits my use because I do not ride in the wet, yet the dam thing still rusts. I don't bother putting it on painted areas but mainly nuts and exposed threads and a few brackets and already rusting areas. The big issue I find is like just last week when it was 5C one day and then 14C the next and everything that was cold "sweats"
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
