Default What additives / maintenance?

Hey there,

I've got a K3 Pointy which has been mainly used as a sunday bike. I'm looking to use it as my daily rider in 33BHP form.

Just wondering if you guys use any fuel additives once a month etc to keep things clean? And any other preventative maintenance you can think of? I've given it the full beans with ACF spray, but I'll be heading over to a place where they use a high pressure mist to make sure it is nice and protected. Keep it nice and clean etc.

More after the engine and any mechanical maintenance tips

Appreciated,
T

Default Re: What additives / maintenance?

Sometimes use a fuel additive when the bikes stored up over winter,same with the acf 50 spray,one tip i will give you(as will many others)is if you want your downpipe to stay nice and shiny get yourself some autosol and use it reguarly on the pipe to stop it from browning off.Also have you got an extenda fenda(this is basically a front mudguard extension)which stops water spraying up to where your spark plugs are hense cuts out any starting problems....HTH
