Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Hey chaps.

I fully drenched my bike in ACF50 spray. And also on all the silver bits ACF50 corrosion block grease...

2 months of solid use everyday in all weather and about just over 4k miles..

The bike was caked. Proper nasty. Id have at least expected some cloudyness or at worst a spec of unwanted stuff.

Third from bottom photo.. before. And the rest after a good clean. And not even yet retreated which I'll do tomorrow. After which I shall not wash or treat the bike until January. This stuff works.

Looks good mate.

I covered the XR in ACF the other week and cleaned it today for the first time in 2 weeks. It was almost as bad as yours and came up nearly as clean.

Not sure I could leave mine dirty for months though..

Yeah I was worried leaving it for two months.. thinking what rust is getting worse that I can't see.

But was pleasantly surprised.

That is rather impressive I must say

That’s why I’m impressed!!!

I might treat the Multi to a wash when I’m home, the dead bugs are starting to pile up

That looks good. To be fair I wash mine and cover it in ACF50 3 times a year and I do find everytime I clean it, it comes up like new. Great stuff glad I invested in a whole heap of it

i looked at the pics, and wondered why the bike in the "before" pic looked so clean. LoL. mine seems to get worse than that in a week. Must be the muddy fields and developments leaving crap on the roads by me.

I just coated my bike in XCP rust blocker to see how I get on with it.


How did you apply the AC50? Just spray it everywhere?

Unfortunately only manage to remember one "before" pic.. and it was the swing arm.

Applied acf50 with my air compressor everywhere.. apart from the usual.

Then acf corrosion block grease on all exposed silvers

Even spokes and spoke nipple's

And funny you post today... Triumph changed my tyres and did a quick jetwash without asking me.. bloody powered off all my anti corrosion... So had to do a full treatment again yesterday. This is the first time since my last post and the bike looked horrendous hence probably why the dealer have it a wash.

Has been used everyday about 2,600 miles and caked in crud.. again looks forecourt finish.. drawback is it looks shite once dirt collects on the grease and ACF. But at least I know by next summer it will look nice for the sunshine

12,000 miles now and only 6 months from new

Looking bloody mint for something that gets used every day. ACF50 certainly does its job

That's impressive, the XR doesn't look that good when it's cleaned up.

What kind of compressor/nozzle are you using? Does it give a fine mist spray?

Just a normal gravity feed bottle on a spray gun. With the compressor set out at 2bar

I used to use the spray can acf50 but it went everywhere and never in the nooks and crannies

Richmond 50L 9cf compressor with accessories.. only cost £134 and I can't believe I didn't get one years ago. Useful for a load of things at home.. (spraying fence panels too )
