looking into buying some motorup for my bike because it is being absolutely impossible to start on these cold mornings

i literally have to rollstart it before it goes....

new battery so it's got plenty of juice winds over fine but it just runs and i have to hold heaps of throttle on and it sits at if i'm lucky 2 grand won't let you rev it up and just cuts the moment i go off off the revs

and then eventually will let you rev it after a long time on the starter this is why i generally just resort to roll starting

now they say the infomercial it sticks to the parts blah blah and helps start engines on cold mornings.

my question is will it help start my bike or is it just marketing bullcrap....

i watched the whole infomercial... and yes they froze two motors in blocks of solid ice and yes only the motorup one would start but at no point did they say how since it sticks to engine parts and is heavier than water....how this helps fire her up on a cold morning

the bike is garaged but the garage gets just as cold as outside.

so yeah looking into motorup and was just wondering if anybody had used it in thier cage or bike or whatever .

any information about this product and if it works would be much appreciated

you 'eard it from the man...

something is wrong if you resorting to putting a can of fluid into your engine that isn't oil into the crank case, or gas into the tank...

come to think of it, while you are at it get some STP fuel additives, they've got carb cleaner, Horsepower Boost, Octane boost - the worlds your oyster, or you could just take it to a workshop and get them to look at it.

its probably a problem caused through lack of compression after your dodgy piston replacement job. only runs seemy okay after it warms up and things expand a little

motorup wont fix that.

That stuff in the cans is useless. Your bike is water cooled is it not? That's your problem, you're using the wrong sort of water. It's letting the cold get through to the cylinders.

What you need is specially Molecularly DynoPositivated water. It's specially treated so the interspacial molecular interfaces of the water become dynamically enhanced, inducing a positive thermal gradient. So your motor stays warm even on these cold mornings.It's scientifically proven .

Very hard stuff to get, but, as it happens I have been able to access a supply. Only $65 per litre INCLUDING GST, a bargain at twice the price, but wait , there's more, a SPECIAL DISCOUNT of , not 5%, not 10% , a WHOLE 15% to KB members ONLY. Special conditions apply

:gob: Serious?! You expect serious?

Okay, seriously, save your money! There are several internet sites explaining how these types of additive work, most are based on PTF's and if you're using a good oil and keep your bike well tuned you're doing all you can. Good modern oils have all the additives you need. How's that for serious...?

Madness
18th June 2006, 12:43
I doubt that a bike stored overnight in a garage in Auckland in winter would get cold enough to warrant such additives. A bike stored out in the snow of the South Island, maybe.

Get a tune-up. They still haven't figured out how to put em in cans yet, so see your local bike garage instead. Spark plugs, air cleaner and fuel mixture are not going to be affected by adding an oil additive are they?

/edit; Sorry Mark, I just looked at your user profile & noticed you are a motorcycle mechanic. This thread is obviously a huge P/T

I would have seriously thought that after the totall balls up you made of the GPX when you first got it, you would have learnt from it. But apparently I am wrong? You claim to be a mechanic, however you also admit that your job is generally re-assembling cheap/shitty non-Jap bikes from out of a box. A mechanic knows how to rebuild and diagnose problems with an engine. All of which you continue to show an inability, esp when you ask if putting something in the motor will fix a start up problem??? Sounds like a tune up is needed and your not the boy for that job...:blip:

Motor-up does work if your motor's fucked. My diesel 4WD semi-seized because I fucked up the oil filter(forgot to tighten it) Vehicle then ran rough as guts vibrating and noisy. Was gonna be 7 grand for a replacement motor. Nothing to lose, threw in a bottle of motor-up WTF. Motor ran smooth and quiet believe it or not. Would run rough again after a couple of months, so threw in more bottles over time. Motor fucked out eventually(crank bearings) The shit works though.

Mark,

Phil and I rebuilt your head at 3AM in the morning, after 6 or 7 hours of constant bitching from you we left and headed home. We said that we'd return and sort out the timing and check the valve clearances.

Because you're such an impatatient cockfob you went and did it yourself and in the process you said that you rebuilt the head as well.

WHO FUCKEN KNOWS what you've fucked up.

1. You put OLD oil in the engine which had petrol mixed with it.
2. You dropped a WASHER (while trying to rebuild the head the first time, before you called Phil and I for help) into the crank case.
3. You caught the Engine on fire and singed several hoses/wires.

TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC!

They quoted you $600 for the work Phil and I did and you apparently "Finished off".

This time you can go and pay them the money and make sure everything is RIGHT.

Then if I may, I'd like to suggest SELLING THE BIKE and buying another GN 250 and learning how to ride like a responsible individual with due respect to other road users!

I'm not just bitching either...
I've heard your bike while running and its not right, should be smoother than that. Something is wrong. Go pay a REAL mechanic to fix it.

thank you number 33 for staying on topic which nobody else seems to have done all i wanted to know was if the damn stuff worked....it could be the fact the airbox is only half arsed hooked on .....and that i leaned out the carbs to factory setting.....and that the plugs were just standard ngk's...

but all i actually wanted to know was does the damn stuff help start a cold engine.....

swanny i dropped a washer it wasn't the end of the world...took the clutch cover off and took out the washer took me all of two minutes...

yeah like i'm really gunna run a motor with a washer in it....

spose i better go hook on that air box properly eh...and change the carby off factory settings and back to how she was when i got her....she still won't idle though itll sit at 4 grand then just suddenly slow down and die....yet other times (very rarely) it will suddenly just idle perfectly fine and purr like a kitten

Ah, for that problem, I have the ultimate solution.

And I'm extremely trustworty, too

Announcing, for the very first time, just released from the Secret list, the revolutionary breakthrough that the Pentagon have been keeping a military secret ever since it was discovered by NASA - the

Hetrodyne Fuel Supercharger

This tiny electronic box, when attached to your fuel tank, will harness the energy of GPS waves - yes ! the same GPS that satellite and rockets use! to SUPERCHARGE YOUR FUEL.

The high tech electronics of the Heterodyne Fuel Supercharger will generate a dynamic isoelastic molecular pulse through the fuel in your tank, causing the fuel molecules to become electopositively attracted to each other.

This means that more fuel molecules can be supplied to your engine on every revolution.

Independant laboratory tests show conclusively that more fuel in the engine produces more power.

Completely safe for all engines. Fitted in minutes, full instructions included, no moving parts, environmentally friendly, reduces pollution.

Increase your bikes top speed, have chicks begging you to take them for a ride , all for the trifling investment of $299.95 + P&P.

Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.
Increase top speed. Pull chicks.

(Have I repeated it often enough)

Remember only $299.95. Call now , (09) 263-7604 , our friendly call centre operators are waiting to take your call, just explain that you're having "problems getting started" and that you're keen to pull chicks to them.

i had managed to get them on resonably well but whadda ya know just took the tank off and everything just now....and it's fallen off again still there just not properly slid over the end of the carby's

the slides are moving to answer somebody elses question...and theres enough freeplay in the throttle cable for both the main and return cable

Can understand your frustration............

I have an old 89 CBR1000F and starts great - but when the bitch gets wind of a frost or cold morning she just wont start.

Have spent close to $1000 only to find out it has something to do with the Carbs freezing from moisture in the fuel - ( being an older model the butterflys stick ).... I have used all the tricks I can to help the matter, covers, carpet, blankets - have changed plugs all to no avail.

Friggin Hondas for yah............ I found a hair dryer on the engine casing for 10 - 15 mins while having a coffee then a jump start works every time, and only resort to this caus I cant blow the friggin thing up - LOL.

Roll on summer - you have my sympathys.....

You could of course try finding a new engine...might be easier than if the thing is naffed.

Most quality oils seem to have all the goodies you need these days, but for what its worth ...I have always used an upper cylinder lube in the gas...but that means the motor may last twice as long, so it may not be for everyone!:doctor:


Now if that doesnt give me a pm or 2 im out of here!!

They band Motorup in the states, there has been many court cases and stuff, it glazes your bores so badly that even the hone can't remove it

I though honing was removing an extremely thin layer of metal... how on earth could Motorup prevent the removal of a layer of metal?

Most of the miracle oil additives fix one symptom but bring up others. Might stop it from smoking but blocks all the oil feeds. Runs smoother but leaks oil like a bastard etc. Mates of mine have tried all sorts and I have yet to see something that doesnt bring up other problems. You never know though.

my life does revolve around kb why do you think i have 1500 posts in about a year?

Shit man its a pity your computer starts every morning! Maybe you should try an fix it and give us all a break?

I read through more than one post after your first one stating that you should take it to a real mechanic. Then came across yours saying no one had given you any sensible advice yet??? Jeepers man your your own worst enemy. All you have to do is LISTEN. I mean really LISTEN, to what is said, not what you wanna hear! Sorry Skid but patience wears thin when good people spend valuable time on you and you just don't get it.

I think what he means is Motorup impregnates so far into the surface even honing the cylinder can't remove It.

I can't for the life of me understand why I can't just ignore, these bloody Skid threads. I must be a really sick son of a bitch!!!!!!!

Entertaining thread, Has aged well in the last two years.

Am I correct in thinking the bike involved is now blown up?

its probably a problem caused through lack of compression after your dodgy piston replacement job. only runs seemy okay after it warms up and things expand a little

motorup wont fix that.

Yep id be guessing the same answer here.
sounds spot on .
Or youve got a burned valve, or maybe just need some valve adjustments

homer
12th April 2008, 08:42
Actually id be looking at the valves first

Does motor up contain teflon?
If the answer is yes .....DONT BUY it , it will fuck the head .
clogs it up as i know a car this happened on .
