Redex in peds

I was told its bad

What you guys think

 

If you are using the Carlube red two-stroke oil, it's already got the additive in it, so you don't need to add amny more to the petrol.

 

I personal will start with cast roll agin as I swear by it

Good old castrol 2t good stuff I used that on my first ped 1991 peougeot st 50 bike was reali slow like 25 mph but was fine soon as I use cheap oil bang how the piston rings few day later since the allways castrol

 

Not sure id use it in a two stroke but it did help with rough idle on my old elyseo 125.

 

Swear Redex is just for 4 strokes?

 

The additive is called Upper Cylinder Lubricant and it can reduce piston ring wear in 2 and 4 strokes, as well as reducing wear of the valves and fuel injectors on a 4 stroke. Some 'Carb and Choke Cleaner' aerosols also contain the additive.

Redex is a brand and they produce fuel additives for all types of engines, including diesel.

 

IF you're using good quality 2 stroke oil then there's no reason why anyone would need this for a 2t to be honest.

 

I was told it helps clear crap out the lines and Iines and jets

 

Yea that would be ok

I used v power in my fezz and this bull about makes you cars faster yea right

 

It's a bit of a dumb question really isn't it.

Redex is a brand name - they do additives for 2-stroke, 4-stroke, diesel and various other cleaners.

Halfrauds stock 16 different Redex products, so which one are we talking about?

Obvs you use the right for the bike or car etc but as I asked I was told its bad for bikes

 

But there's additives and cleaners - which are you asking about?

I can't offer any opinion for 2-strokes or injectors, but on older carburated 4-strokes the Redex additive is recommended by many people for keeping the fuel system clean. I have a 96 Diversion which is a 600 straight 4 with a block of 4 carbs, and it runs sweeter with the additive. I know a lot of people who use it in pre-injection cars too.

Bad for bikes? Well, an engine is an engine regardless of what it drives - bike, car, boat, water-pump, chain-saw, generator - even mopeds.

I recommend you buy some of the additive appropriate to your machine's engine and try it for a couple of months. It won't do any harm - if it did then either Redex would have gone out of business or it would be more than just a rumour that it is "bad for bikes".

 

@ Pockets

What do I know? I only worked in the oils and lubricants industry for 25 years, maybe you know better than I do..?

[/sarcasm]

 

Theres one for injectors and one for the fuel system.

 

There are upper cylinder lubricants, cetane/octane boosters and carb/injector cleaners, it's a product range for petrol and diesel engines, it's not just one product.

 

Redex was originally a single product that was mixed in with the fuel. The idea was that it cleaned varnish deposits created by fuel in the carbs and cleaned off carbon deposits from the piston. i still have an original bottle at my dads.

 

Ok thanks this is the kind of answer I was looking for all I can do us go on what I've been told that's why I ask

 

Tbh honest mate I don't know that's why I ask bad that why I stated what I was told

And no offence the elders allways say we should respect them well how can we if we get remarks like this

Questions are ask for the fact the person asking don't know and would like to learn

 

Ok thanks

 

Yes that is true but I was on about the one for bikes

As in the right additive fir the right bike

So if I go out tomorrow I go buy some for my 2t it won't fuck my bike up that's all I wana know
