Default Re: Lithium grease / Castrol red rubber grease

And of course, the perennial winter time favourite is a cuple of kumquats in the tank to help with carb icing.

Seriously tho, it sounds like a Top Tip out of Viz i know but its all you need.

Now red rubber grease in a salad? Hmmmm, is a green salad or mixed salad best?

So I said: "Oh please don't tell me that I'm the dozy bird who's been sent to buy the mechanical equivalent of tartan paint?!".

Fortunately he replied: "No, I've just not seen it for years - we don't sell it I'm afraid".

Phew.

Cazza I think that's tyre grease
(or a clutch cable for a sv1000 or a chain for a buell ...etc. etc. ...)

Ahh that's for rimming though (horrible terminology alert!), I mean for use on the tyres when riding; to make you faster by reducing friction.(yes I managed to get someone to enquire about trackday tyre grease )
