My anecdotal experience as follows.


I've used it (the original formula before the brand was sold) many times before mainly in old skool stuff, revived a mower with next to no compression, went on to run for many more years, it was gold in my old TZR250 2 stoke bike, started like a dream after using and gained nearly 1500 more revs with a strong top end power curve, in an XR 250 with similar results, both ran quieter and smoother.

More recently used xcelplus in my Pathfinder with similar quietening down results (was a well run in car) would have liked to have known the long term results in that, shame it was rear ended on the freeway), is also in my current Terri, (jury's out)

As for whether I'd bung it in an FPV....no idea

I only just found out it was now being sold under the new name as I'd looked for it several times over the last 10 years to no avail

I originally used (the 2 stroke version) an old 83 CR250 MX bike that I used in the bush as a trail bike and after treatment, it revved much higher/harder than before and I actually rode that bike hard for ~5 years (probably 10,000km) with minimal maintenance before it had a light seizure

I then stripped the engine down and apart from a new set of rings and a light hone and reapplication of Slick50 it ran for another year or so before I sold it

Also ran it in my old 351c 78 F100 after rebuilding the engine bottom end and running it in and it made it run much smoother and I believed helped with getting rid of the lifter tick that was common on Clevo's

Also had a pump pack that I have used on all sorts from hinges and drawer runners to clotheslines and MC chains etc and all seemed to be much smoother afterward and it does seem to last longer than using WD-40, CRC etc

Now that I've seen it's available again (the original formula) I reckon I'll give it a go in my XR6T as well as my Blackbird MC
