Motor-Up does it work? has anybody used it / knows a lot about it?

**N4CR** · 18th June 2006, 12:32

Mark bro go get some NOS it helps start my bike man. I use it to spool up the 3rd turbo eh.

Or you could just drop a washer in the crank case, that might help?

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...?

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

Except that he needs to get someone else to fix the bike. Mark doing it would be fatal for the poor motomarsickle...

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...

yes choke definately works on both..... havn't had clearances done since ive had it....and you can't get a compression tester down the hole....it's only starting doing this since weve gotten into these really cold winter mornings...

when it was warmer temperatures she started up fine.....but when it was a tad colder she would first only fire up on one cylindeer then the other would kick in now she just doesn't start eh

**skidMark** · 18th June 2006, 14:06

but inline the extremely trustworthy looking man on tv said repeatedly that it will help get it started on cold mornings

Yes you could, with the right compression tester. But as a motorcycle mechanic you already knew that...

THOUGHT YOU WERE A MECHANIC, GET A COMP TESTER EXTENSION OR MAKE ONE FROM A OLD SPARK PLUG
