Winter care tips from GetGeared #2: Greasing!

There are motorcyclists that ride every day regardless of the weather, and there are bikers, like me, who ride the bike more frequently during Spring, Summer and Autumn. I do ride in Winter, but I tend to pick and choose my days. 

The bike therefore is standing for periods of time, sometimes a couple of weeks or more if the weather is really bad. If you do ride this time of year it's essential to clean off all the salt and muck before parking it up- to avoid corrosion! One product I do recommend to blitz corrosion is ACF-50, in spray or grease format.

I like the grease- and tend to grease the following without fail: Battery terminals, locks, calipers, hinges, bearings and more- the more the merrier. Naturally stay away from brakes of course! This grease is superb- take a look:

All the advantages of ACF-50 spray in grease form: You've heard of ACF-50 and now here's their grease form of it. Ideal for anywhere that you'd usually use grease: Bearings, callipers, hinges, locks, battery terminals and more.

The great ACF-50 performance: This grease uses exactly the same technology as the spray: It prevents corrosion for 12-18 months and kills existing corrosion. This stuff is awesome for protecting electronics and used as a light lubricant. The grease is also a bright blue colour so that it is easy to identify amongst your electronics and other parts.

Corrosion Block has superior features:

1. It is a superior anti-corrosion compound
2. It kills existing corrosion in progress
3. It prevents new corrosion cells from forming for 12-18 months
4. It is an excellent penetrant
5. It is an excellent light lubricant
6. It is non conductive & excellent for protecting electronics


EXTRA TOP TIP: If you're bike is standing for a while, pop a food bag / sandwich bag over the exhaust and secure it with an elastic band. Prevents unwanted pests making a cosy home in your bike!
