    Picked up this Husqvarna TE610e at the beginning of March as a non runner.
    Got her goin a few weeks ago and stuck a DR125 headlight on her instead of the poxy ebay non-road legal mini halogens.
    Still needs a little more work such as some fresh plastics and some minor tuning.

    Thanks. I use the acf-50 everywhere but I do be very carful not to contaminate the brake pads or disc with it.

    I warm the can up in warm water give it a good shake and spray a light coat everywhere . I then apply it to the hard to reach areas and areas lose to the brakes with a microfibres cloth.

    You can use ACF50 on EVERYTHING apart from the brakes. Take the seat of the bike and fairings if you can and spray to all the electrics etc. its totally safe. Best to leave it overnight and wipe off the excess the next morning. Its designed to "creep" into every nook and cranny and is totally safe with electrics.

    Keep the one cloth just for ACF50 and it will be great for wiping alloys etc.

    However,

    When using it on the body work apply to a cloth and then to fairing and buff it off after 5mins or so. You dont want it creeping in fairings it can put a "thinge" on the colour if left for ages.

    Its absolutely brilliant stuff. Its quite a thick forumula and I have seen it sold in a fine mist spray also.....you can leave the can in hot water for 5mins or so to make it a thinner solution so to speak.

    This is what you want if you can source it closer to home, the ACF50 and the spray bottle.

    I have a bottle of the stuff that you use to fill a spray bottle.
    Didn't think it would be safe on the fairings.
    I feel some cleaning therapy coming on,
    Thanks lads

    Blue light for me- chill time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,306 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I only heard about this acf50 a few days ago. Is it as good as they say?

    Yes, best anti corrosion solution around for the money. Really should start using it towards the end of summer to coat the bike for winter but its a great product use sparingly and the bottle will last an age.

    I went to a few of the spots last year but never followed it up. It's a great way to see the country and get away from the normal routes that we all fall into.
    I must have a look at the website to see this years locations
