Title: Who needs WD40 when Factor 30 will do....
Post by: craigv78 on June 27, 2019, 02:56:24 PM
Just got back from an 8 day trip to the south of France (included 3 days at the Formula 1)

Travelling back up from the coast to Dijon on Monday, I pulled up at a petrol station and the fuel cap lock had seized up..

There were three of us in our group, no-one had any WD40. The shop at the petrol station had nothing like it either......

Scratched head for a moment and then thought "I wonder".........

Coated both the key and the lock with factor 30, opened straight away!.....





Quite a good trip away, the other two bikes were a Suzuki Bandit 1200 and a Triumph Rocket 2300 - The GTR had the best fuel economy of the three (and I never really got lower than half a tank, as the Bandit could only go 140 miles before it ran dry)

Discovered that at cruising speeds, I was doing 3200rpm = 70mph    3800rpm = 80mph    4000rpm = 85mph     5000rpm = 110mph
