Motorcycles and ZX1

We are often asked if ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment can be use in Motorcycles. Our range of products can be used anywhere friction occurs, including Motorcyles (even with a wet clutch) and bikes of all kinds.

Compression check Kawasaki ZX10 Motorcylce

Hi all

I first used ZX1 in an Armstrong m/cycle (ex army dispatch hack) and was seriously impressed with the way it smoothed out the vibes and made the thing easier to start,

Since then I have convinced several of my friends to try it and the most noticeable improvement to date was with a Kawasaki ZX10 m/cycle which had 48 thou on the clock.

We did a compression check before using the ZX1 and the readings were as follows:-

1. No 1 Cylinder = 120 psi

2. No 2 Cylinder = 115 psi

3. No 3 Cylinder = 115 psi

4. No 4 Cylinder = 120 psi

Book readings should be in the 145 area.

We did another check at 1000 miles after treatment and all readings had increased. Then a further check at 3000 miles and the readings had increased as follows.

1. No 1 Cylinder = 132 psi

2. No 2 Cylinder = 127 psi

3. No 3 Cylinder = 127 psi

4. No 4 Cylinder = 132 psi

Basically a uniform increase of 12 psi on each cylinder.

The owner of the ZX10 is very happy with the overall effect of using ZX1, easier starting, smoother running, useable power increase and better fuel economy.

Unfortunately we are unable to do any high mileage test on the bike as a nice lady driver right turned into front of the bike, which was written off ( the rider was, luckily, only bruised.)

Yours Sincerely

Four-Stroke engines

Use as recommended in a car engine.

Two-Stroke engines

Mix 5% of ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment to your existing two - stroke oil then add to the petrol as recommended by the oil manuacturer.

Cycle Chains

To treat the chain apply hot ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment ( ZX1 bonds at 60ºc) to a clean chain, let it penetrate and bond, then, after using the bike whilst the chain is still warm from use, spray with our C60 Spray Lube. This will keep the chain in good shape and reduce drag as you will not need a sticky chain lube; some of our customers have remarked that it dramatically reduces chain stretch

This is just a few of the many quotes we have received from users of ZX1 products in Motorsports.....

..." Having run my Suzuki RGV 250P ( 2 stroke engine with wet clutch) for a whole season on your XXTRALUBE ZX1 in the gearbox and as a fuel additive, I have had no problems with either bore wear or gearbox/clutch wear, which relects the quality of your products".

"It was a privilege and a pleasure carrying the ZX1 band name and very satisfying when other riders took an interest and then also started using your product. It obviously goes without saying that I would do my upmost to promote ZX1 again during this season......"

Dave Norris, Eastbourne and England Speedway Rider

"..WINS! 13- 2nd places, 21- 3rd places, 9- fastest laps of the race, 7- LAP RECORDS BROKEN, 6- never outside the top three. Became the TZR Lord of Lydden. Won the Rikard Trophy handicap race,.........I believe ZX1 made a substantial contribution to my success as in all those races I did not suffer a single breakdown through engine failure."

"I ride a Suzuki GSXR-600 WX with 30,000 mile on the clock.............I tried your product ZX1 in both the engine oil and the fuel at the correct ratio.. I am very.. very.. pleased with the results, the whole engine feels smoother, sweeter, the gearbox has improved enormously, the gear change is crisper, the engine much more responsive... and the rattles? ...gone".

.....I purchased four bottles from QVC and they went into my very precious 1991 Harley Davidson.......I have noticed many changes in the way my motorcycle now rides.

Engine temperature has decreased by 20-30 degrees f, during my normal day to day riding.
I can now get more miles our of my little 131 petrol tank
I have taken your advice and used ZX1 in my brake cylinders, petrol tank and rear drive chain. The motorcycle brakes a lot more sharply and the ride is smoother. The bike seems to have more power.......

Since treating his 1998 Honda VTR 1000cc Matthew states...

"It starts first crank, cold, and no choke every time
There has been a noticable reduction in engine rattle, which is a big deal in a large V twin.
Performance has improved as well, not just in outright power, but also in smoothness of delivery.
Fuel economy has seen an improvement of close to 9%.
Chain stays shiny ( lubricated) longer and rattles less.
Gearshifts have improved slightly and there seems to be less droping out of second............"
