Re: oil flush and fuel additives
I think the wynns stuff is about ?5 or so, I wouldn't be putting anything else in*
Many many years ago I did ride a bike about 30 miles on parffin, the white smoke screen was a nice touch, but don't do this please

Re: oil flush and fuel additives
Not for 3500 miles, maybe 5 just to circulate round and pick up any dust in there from assembly etc Then put good quality oil in

Re: oil flush and fuel additives
There is no point in using either, the only advice I would offer in relation to the questions are use Silkolene PRO FST in the winter. It will leave you with no carb icing problems at all!
Pro FST - Fuel System Treatment for all engines. Guards against cold start engine wear, carburettor icing and fuel system corrosion. Combats carburettor sticking and jet blocking. Effective in all unleaded and leaded fuels. Reduces engine 'knock' (pre-ignition). - technical data sheet Last edited by Dangerous Dave; 13-07-08 at 11:02 AM. |
