Moderator Cynic Posted July 27, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 27, 2012 Its a con. It is just some deturgents with a bit of alcohol for an octane boost to make the bike feel just a little bit better. If it makes any difference to your bike you have left it too long between sevices.

TheBoltons Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I just dismantled my carb because of a similar problem - have a good check of the pin and where it sits - mine was dry as a bone for one, but also ever so slightly worn. It is also missing the screw on the end of the main jet (grr) so Im sure that was contributing to my problem as well. So my advice - strip the carb down and cross check all parts and calibrations with the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 i used redex in my old cortina, because my dad used it all the time. personaly i think it's a load of bollox and does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Loada bollox, but it's great for making shitloads of white smoke and pi$$ing off the neighbours .... so I'm told ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrever Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I' ve used it, don't know if it really did anything, but got piece of mind thinking it would clean injectors ( no carb on my YBR). If you do use it, be careful with the amount you use, apparently it can cause damage. I think something like this stuff is added to fuel anyways.
