ACF50

[HockleyBoy]

Anyone use ACF50 on their bike?, keep seeing it and thinking it may be good for the Tiger as I ride all year round but as it is a bit pricey I wondered if it really works.

In my opinion this is one of the best protective sprays you can buy. Not only will it protect your bike it will stop corrosion from spreading. I only started using it a couple of years ago and I agree it's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. A little goes a long way. There are lots of deals to be had online. I think my last order was from Busters which was for a 2 pack for around £25.00

The last Honda ST 1300 I owned had a lot of corrosion under the fork yokes. I treated it with ACF50 and it cleared away the corrosion and stopped further problems.

You can use it on electrical components without any problems. I spray it on all the switches and ignition barrel Every time I take the tank of my Tiger I give everything underneath a good spray and that way there is no  corrosion building up. I also use it on my car and around the house on door locks and the like. This stuff is the dogs bollocks.

I also use the ACF50 grease on areas like wheel nuts and battery terminals.

It's not a substitute for good cleaning and maintenance, however it works really well and will protect your bike between cleans. I don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but if you have a look at pics of my Tiger you'll see how good it works at keeping it pristine.  If you decide to buy some I would be interested to hear what you think of it once you try it. I hope this info helps.

Used it for years on cars, bikes, lawnmowers, pushbikes and garden furniture. It's brilliant - use it

Been using Duck Oil for years with the same affects as ride all year too. It's available from motor factors in the UK and I dare say is available on the net.
It is quite cheap at about £8 for a gallon (UK).

Also for lubeing the chain etc I use TF2 which is made by Weldtite and is normally £14 a tin but cut price bargains can be had on Amazon. Found a bargain at 65p per can so bought 10! It is a very slippery Teflon based lube which doesn't fling and dries transparent and dry. Alot cleaner than chain grease if you have a coloured chain.

even if you put yer bike away wet after a ride in the rain, blast this on and leave it to dry and it forms a protective coatin !!

Thanks all for the feedback and other options, I think I will get some ACF50 and give it a try this winter to see how I get on.

Will have a look out for TF2, no bargains that good on Amazon at the moment.
