The Importance of Improving Lubrication with an Effective “Spray” When You Feel Discomfort!

PA01.jpg How to

Frictional resistance is the key to improved engine performance, longer engine life, and improved performance of the sliding parts of the bodywork. When frictional resistance is reduced, the performance of the motorcycle is greatly improved and the difference can be felt. Motorcycle parts have many friction points where parts rub against each other, and by taking care of these areas, you can avoid initial galling and improve operation. Lubricating not only the sliding parts of the engine but also all parts of the body is an important part of maintenance.

Oil spray with high-performance chemicals

A spray chemical that can be sprayed directly onto the affected area to be lubricated. It is also a popular product as an aerosol spray that combines high-performance oil with SUPER ZOIL components. The number of repeat customers seems to be increasing due to its ease of use. It is also highly regarded as the oil to use when assembling engines. It is also a necessity for Sunday mechanics.

If you haven't started your engine in a while, give it a blast.

If the engine has not been started for a while (several years), remove the tappet cap and cam cover, and spray the mechanism and sliding parts. This will avoid the initial galling and make the engine more familiar. Spraying on the cam chain is also effective. The reason for spraying from the plughole is that the inside of the cylinder is often dry and the oil has evaporated.

The point system also requires lubrication in these areas

In the points-controlled ignition system, which is common in old motorcycles before the early 80's, the heel of the points slides against the cam pile to activate the points. A part called "oil felt" is installed to lubricate the contact area. It is a good idea to spray the felt with oil or grease to soak it up.

If it breaks, it's too late! Metering cable

While the throttle and clutch cables are the parts where you can easily feel the before and after effects of slippage, it is the meter cable that you will only notice a lack of lubrication when it breaks. Regular lubrication will ensure a longer life. Pull out the inner cable from the outer cable and check the condition of the finely coiled cable.

Cleaning before oil application is also important

If the inner cable you pulled out of the outer cover is black and sticky, soak it in a container of petrol and clean it. After cleaning, let the inner cable dry and then spray it with SUPER ZOIL spray to soak it up. Coiled cables are more likely to retain oil. Some models have an oil seal between the end fitting and the cable to prevent rainwater from running up the cable when riding in the rain. Be careful because it is often dropped and lost when cleaning. This oil seal protects the inner cable from rust and dirt.

Spray from the base of the brake lever

If the pivot point of the brake or clutch lever runs out of lubrication, the lever will not operate properly and may start to make a squeaking noise. If you notice any of these signs, spray a little around the base of the lever. If you have enough time, remove the lever only and spray the inner cable without removing the cable.

Effective for smooth throttle operation

A single throttle operation can make all the difference to a motorcycle's ride quality. Smooth and light throttle operation is the real deal. Rather than simply lubricating or greasing up the throttle, the first step is to disassemble the parts and check the condition. The throttle cable can be lubricated while it is still attached to the housing. You'll be amazed at the difference a quick spray when it's dry and parched can make. Before restoration, wipe the inside of the handle and throttle pipe with a rag to clean dirty grease and grit. Lubricating the motorcycle while it is dirty may have the opposite effect.

POINT
  • Point 1・ Let's use the high-performance oil spray well and expand the range of maintenance.
  • Point 2・Lubricant is always necessary for mechanisms and sliding parts. Clean the sprayed area before starting work.
  • Point 3・When there is a feeling of discomfort in the operation, let's deal with it by a spray before the symptom gets worse!

An engine that has been used for a long time will have more resistance in the sliding parts, making it difficult to perform smoothly, and this will often cause slight vibration and overall poor engine feel. In order to keep the engine performing smoothly, maintenance is essential. A coat of grease or a squirt of oil can make the engine feel smoother than expected.

Even if a new motorcycle is equipped with a high-performance engine, the reduction of the sliding resistance provides smoother operation and rotation force than ever before, and you may notice the difference from usual. Various high-performance chemicals contribute to the reduction of such sliding and rotating resistance.

Here, we practice maintenance on a homecoming Super Cub that has been sleeping in a warehouse for more than 20 years. Even though it's 40 years old, it has only 500 miles (800 km) on it. It's a 40-year-old model with only 500 miles (800 km) on the odometer, so it's likely that the motorcycle had been stored in a garage or warehouse for many years without being ridden. These motorcycles often put stress on various parts when the engine is started and when the motorcycle start. In particular, the main moving parts of the engine need to be well lubricated with engine oil.

SUPER ZOIL spray is a powerful and easy-to-use additive for such work. SUPER ZOIL is a high-performance additive known for its ability to modify and regenerate metal surface damage and improve engine lubrication performance. SUPER ZOIL spray is a product that combines high-performance oil with SUPER ZOIL ingredients and is packaged in a spray bottle. It has become a popular product due in part to its ease of use.

Since the engine is a Honda horizontal type, if the tappet cap is removed, oil can be sprayed on the rocker shaft, tappet area, and cam pile, and if a metal ultra-fine nozzle is replaced (using an unnecessary nozzle from another company's sprayer), it can be sprayed directly on the valve stem seal area by bending the tip. By spraying the cam sprockets and cam chain liberally, it is possible to prevent the galling of metal to metal that tends to occur immediately after startup. By doing this before starting the engine, we were able to start the engine with peace of mind.
