Rust Inhibitor/Anti Corrosion Spokes

[SpeedStar]

I found the ACF50 at my local WestMarine supply. $18.99 for the can. They had Boeshield too, but I went with the ACF50.

Don't for the ACF50

Don't forget to spray the spokes and such with the ACF50 that you bought a while back to prevent the rapid corrosion that these spokes tend to exibit.

Good reminder. I have it sitting on the workbench with oil and filter.

Where's the best place to get it? I found it online for $12 a can, but then shipping is $11 - I hate that!

Good to know. I hadn't read about the spokes before.

I bought mine awhile ago, it was 11.99 at every place I looked. I did find a place that shipped 3 cans for the same money.

Also, I read that it is best to warm the can before using, as the propellant is not that great..

Us Texas folks will not need to warm the cans. In fact I had to find a cool place to store it as to keep it from exploding. )

Re: Don't for the ACF50

I did and found out that SeaDoo makes something very similar called SeaDoo lube or something along those lines. The local Honda House around here sells it but I have not made it up there yet.

Re: Don't for the ACF50

This was the link that we all used back in February. The shipping is kind of high, but I bought an extra can and shipping cost was about the same, so it softened the blow a little.

Re: Don't for the ACF50

West Marine have the ACF50 listed on their website, when I went to the local store to get some they'd never heard of it. But they did say this stuff is the best stuff EVER so I bought some. At $17 it's more expensive than the ACF50, so it MUST be better right?

Anyone have any experience with it?

Re: Don't for the ACF50

Is there a thread discussing this stuff? I live in North Texas. Do I need the stuff? There's no salt in the air or on the roads. Or is this to prevent corrosion due to water?

Here is where is was first brought up back in February. Elizza posted on a different thread that she sprayed the front of her engine to make it easier to clean off road debris. She said that it worked very well.

One of the UK? guys on advrider did replace his with stainless after his originals corroded. I think Yamaha replaced the set under warranty and he then had a stainless set made. I recall that he said you could replace them without taking the tire off of even taking the wheel off the bike.

Old topic now guys, but relevant again now we have the bikes!

I posted Old Git Ray's story about replacing spokes on my site;
