ZX1

[sponge bob]

Was wondering if it had any adverse effect to a nikaseal (think thats how you spell it) lineing .
Cheers and happy xmas

Dont think it would, but Id ask a question on their web site.

Apparently put 5% in 2 stroke oil then normal oil mixture ratio to petrol

I wouldnt use in gearbox as its got EP additives so may effect clutch

i use zx1 in my gearbox as well as in my petrol hav been for about 6 months hav seen no ill efects on clutch

Everybody i have spoke to have said it's ok in your engine but just wanted to check if it will effect the nikaseal. It seems to be a worth while addition to your petrol but just wanted to double check

[rbgaz]

mines a rb kit and its ok, zx1 isnt a addictive like say a octane booster etc
which burns in the petrol mix like your two stroke oil, zx1 uses your two stoke oil to carry it to the metal parts crank bearings etc and sticks to it same in your gearbox, i noticed a drop in temps on my scoot and smoother running i also hav mbs lead pellets in my tank

Lead pellets ? Aren't the heads reprofiled so we don't have to use these or do they just improve things , also whats the benefits from using the pellets .

I would say absolutely none at all. Lead was put in fuel to protect exhaust valves in four strokes amd boost the octane rating but that was a disolved lead compound (Lead TetrEthyl) not just a few fishing weights in a sock!
