been using the old redex in the tank i used to use it back in the 1980,s on cars i had with carbs (ahh those were the days ) prbably a placebo efffect but bike runs better after a good dose of the red stuff, anyone else use it regularly.


Stay safe guys and gals Mogas

never heard of it, what is it?

I use it allthe time mate, hence the name.

Baz is suffering from old age i see....

I was tempted to use some. Is it any better than sprayin some carb cleaner down the throats? I was just worried about how much smoke it creates?

I've never noticed any extra smoke when I've used it, but being me I'm probably doin it wrong!

Only smokes if you put too much in, if it doesnt smoke then thats fine. Read the nstruction it tells you how much per litre to put in. You only need t run it through once in a while. Ive always filled the tank brim full, stuck it in and then ridden it till i fill up again.

Done my old Scotrail van with it, as per instructions I poured it down the carb throat while holding the rev's at around 2K.

Next thing I knew was I had created a Smog cloud half the length of Calder street (Glasgow) and cars were driving by with their lights on!!

bonnet down and quick exit too flat for a cuppa was called for

Cured the erratic running though

Good stuff

apparently a common fault on vectras is the valve seats clog up and a well known cure is to remove all plugs and fill all barrels to the top with redex and leave for 24 hours, then spin the engine to remove the redex and put the plugs back in, was gonna try it on our vectra but never felt brave enough.
