Grebel Posted November 18, 2010 Share One word: POWASOL Spray on, leave for 5 minutes and wash off with a hose pipe without the nozzle. End of story. No more mud! Dry your chain and apply suitable lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustyy Posted November 18, 2010 Share I can't believe this topic is starting here as well!! Guys, I drive a Yamaha WR450F dirt bike as well. This has been a very controversial topic on e-dirt.co.za (dirt bike forum) In the end it comes down to whatever tickles your fancy and make you sleep at night... But what happens when oil (lube) and dust mix? GRINDING PASTE. If you think about it, a chain does not need that much lubrication as the bushes roll with the sprocket. It does however need to be clean. I'm not ditching anybody here, just my first hand experience and opinion. (and more and more dirt-bikers are finding this out by the day from experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted November 18, 2010 Share Powasol? reckon it does the job that well mate? Where can i get my hands on that? How much is it? Hey Bman, Sorry for the delayed response. Things went mad at work and only just checked the thread... Powasol is available from Multitergent in Pinetown Powasol The guy to speak to is Klint Mills. All the details are on the site. I was using Prepsol and a mate gave me some Powasol to try. As soon as my "sample" is finished, I am buying in bulk! I used about half a 500ml spray bottle after the Outsurance Expedition on Sunday and my bike looks like new. It even takes the mud marks off your tyres. Spray, leave to soak for 5-10minutes and rinse. Try to stay away from your bearings though for obvious reasons... Give it a bash. You won't be sorry Edited November 18, 2010 by Grebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
