Dics all round will stop it but dont think it will go round corners as most quads dont have a diff so thay have a 1 wheel grip 1 wheel spin but that much power I recon you will just rip the tyres off or twist the axle .
Hang on off road would be fun to say the least beach racing ?????

I found this on ebay I think its a bargain It might seem a little dear at first look But the cheapest aerosol I've seen is £14.49 for 400 mls ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160900512787?ssPageName=STRK:...1438.l2649 If two or more peeps clubbed together This would work out a bit cheaper Worth a thought, as we might have some bad weather to come yet http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170926615061?ssPageName=STRK:...1438.l2649

Wow that is good one EMz thanks for that - i love acf50 and its kept my bikes okies the last two winters riding... The only ohter thing i wasnt sure of is JP when you said you use hot water to get salt off - i heard this is a definate no no as hot water makes metal expand and absorb more of the salt? I spray down with cold water to get rid of all salt... then wash or know acf50 doin its job so wash bit later Interesting says its lasts 24 months

yes I'd been told the same as it activates the chemicals in the 'salt'..
edit actually after a bit of googling the problem with hot water is it dissolves the salt and spreads it all over the bike and into its crevices, whereas cold water just washes it off..?

i think ACF50 is brilliant stuff, i bought a can 3 years ago and i have't had any trouble with my bikes they still look spotless, and i haven't even used any of it yet, any one want to buy a 3 year old can unopened.

So is anyone going to post "before" and "after" pics of this wonder product Might be a nudge towards encouraging those who are unsure Just a thought, no pressure Suzi But I seem to remember you being a strong advocate Maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be Photo's from a BM member would be hard to argue with though Assuming it really is THAT good
