GARYJL Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Has anyone used Redex or a similar product to clean the injectorson there bike and if so noticed any difference afterwards. Quote
lib Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Used some today. Changed the spark plug, oil and lubed the chain too, so don't think I will be able to say much specific about the redex though!Interested to hear what other people say though... Quote
Guest philgale Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 5th gear did a test about some additives and they did more harm than good....wouldnt bother if i were you Quote
Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I use Redex 'Red' occasionally and I find it helps my bike especially if I have some work done on it. It clears all the rubbish. I first used it on the advice of my mechanic and found it to be quite good Quote
tony-1977 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I had a slightly uneven tickover (900 - 1400 rpm), so I poured half a bottle of redex in 1/4 of a tank of fuel then ragged the t*ts of it. It ticks over as sweet as can be now Quote
Colin the Bear Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 It's been going since adam was a lad. I don't think it would still be on the market if it didn't work. Follow the instructions Quote
zzr lon Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 think youll find oil additives are a bad thing especially the ones that claim to fix leaks.Redex is fantastic stuff and thoroughly recommend it Quote
kja.busa Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 They used to say a "squirt" down the spark plug hole (with the plug out!) and left overnight would clear the carbon build up, or certainly some of it, not tried it myself, but I use a similar additive on the car regularly. Quote
critch1977 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 never used redex only used stp fuel injection system cleaner.this worked a treat but i also balanced my throttle bodies in the process and found them to be miles apart boy did i noticed then difference after they were balanced.if your bike is injected gary give the tb`s a quick look to see how balanced they are.

Guest Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I have used redex in the past, but be wary it makes a nice white smoke cloud, Especially when used neat (poured into the barrels) and not mixed with the fuel....so be careful where your doing it.... Quote
Guest Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 i poured it down the barrels of my car once, wouldn't start at first, then filled the whole street with a thick grey cloud of soot. Quote
