went to have a look at this activ8 at excel.......looks like the same demo as the yanks.....old boy whos doing the demo is defo not an engineer....hes a salesman.....ask a question outside his patter and hes lost....he chose the youngest member to do the test who just about stopped the bearing with standard engine oil......failed to stop it using active 8.....i had a go and stopped the wheel reasonably easy but what put me of was the grinding noise :eek :eek salesman blamed it on the testing tool mounting and bench :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes ......iam not convinced.....you cant beat regular oil changes,its as easy as that

All jokes aside, the jury's still out i think
Can't wait to try it out though A gut feeling tells me it wont do anything, but i certainly dont think it'll do any harm,besides how many of us with a second hand bike have already had it/got it in our bike already considering how many bike shows it has been to. It will be interesting to see longer term when the mileages get up a bit as to how many problems folk have and whether or not they used it.

"....Did you put it in just the engine oil or gearbox oil also?...." Is that a trick question?

Couldn't agree more. Good, expensive, oil is good enough for all the bikes and cars I've seen. All the extra aditives have turned out to be snake oil. Good engines will run and run and run on just good oil changed regularly and warmed up before full throttle.

I'd like to see an independent test: 2 engines. One run for 500 hours on regular quality oil, the other run the same period on oil with magic aditives. Then measure and compare wear. Same change periods, same revs etc.
