    Hi TMF, just tried this out today myself. Works a treat. I've had a compressor for a while now (sand blasting, putting air in car tyres etc.). Got tired of pumping ACF50 by hand all over my bikes with the little atomiser that comes with the bottles. Bought a spray paint gun via Amazon for about £12 - what a difference to an otherwise tedious job. Big thanks for sticking to it (although I originally commented on Twitter that I would not persist on the air tool path).

  • @HeadhunterUK007
    @HeadhunterUK007 5 лет назад +27

    Thanks, looks like a great way to apply ACF50. Any reason why you didn't remove the seats prior to spraying? Might be easier than covering them and gives an opportunity to spray bike internals from another angle.

    Something to note about ACF50: I looked in the garden sprayer bottle that I used a few months ago and the ACF50 has set solid. So make sure you store it in the bottle it comes in!

    Good video TMF but...Instead of the spray gun try an air brush, they’re around £6-10 on Amazon. More accurate and you need less air pressure 20-30psi . Also, remove the wheels and do them by hand with a brush, spokes and hubs as well. If you need to removed the brake pads give them a good clean with brake cleaner and apply copper slip before putting back in, do the sliders as well. With the wheels removed you can spray the callipers and inside the swinging arm getting the ACF50 in all the right places. Remember to clean the discs with brake cleaner afterwards.

    Also take seats off and spray electrics and frame undeneath, use a detail brush to do the brake calliper metal and fasteners and wipe the wheels..the thickness of it helps not get on tyres and discs/pads. Certainly do the fasteners on the calipers if nowt else but i paint the whole caliper and the detailing brushes £5 on ebay for 5 dont fall apart and allow u to get behind the caliper. I spray all the underside of my plastics too and when you come to wash the mud/crud just slides off. In between acf 50 which i do twice a year i use gt85. Its briliant but does wash off so regular application required. Compressor air gun will also do the same job as your hoover drier😃

    It's a good idea to check out what pressure goes through the gun, I have one like yours & it's 45-55psi, you can set that on the compressor on the regulated gauge. The screw on the back of the gun is for paint flow & the one by the side is air , so you can get the right mix. I looked in to getting my Harley dine by an agent & it was going to involve travelling a 100 mile, paying 80quid, so I bought my 50litre compressor from Lidls for 90 & got a selection of tools , tyre gauge, spray gun, blow gun, & a paraffin gun (the ref one like yours) for 25 quid from Screwfix, just had to put connectors on the end. Well done you done a good job 👍👍😎

    Oh the joys of your first compressor - you'll find all sorts of unnecessary uses for it .

Too noisy for a workshop really. I pushed the boat out and bought a Jun-Air dental compressor - makes about the same noise as a fridge - opens up another world of possibilities. As ever another well crafted, informative vid.

    Hi TMF, glad it worked out for you this time. From past experience with spoked rims you should really get some ACF on those spokes and nipples, I’m not sure if they are stainless steel on the CRF?? If they are fine but if not I would recommend really getting something on them, I learnt the hard way. They can corrode really bad at this time of year. I take the wheel off and brake disc off and spray loads on my DRZ rims, then apply ACF grease to the nipples. Looks really awful but wash it off in spring and looks like a new rim still.

    It is high velocity low pressure! You should give painting a go now u have the gear! The knob u twizlled is the needle adjustment which allows the fluid out the cup the 2 little horns on the front have little air holes that hit the liquid as it comes out and creates your spray fan. You shoudl take it all apart and clean it properly so it doesnnt clog up

  • @mr.fingerbrake2323
    @mr.fingerbrake2323 5 лет назад

    What about the brake caliper bolts + banjo bolts, brake disc bolts, mudguard bolts etc TMF? I use a small craft brush to apply a layer of ACF50 on these too as they are particular areas that are prone to corrosion. As long as you're careful, you won't then get any residue on your discs/pads/tyres. I agree that applying it is best before & after winter following a thorough clean 👍. IMHO a layer over the paintwork aids pant protection from dirt/grit on the plastics & tank. The hex bolts that secure the fuel filler are also an area that require use of a brush often to apply it evenly. I also coat the entire exhaust system.... That creates an interesting spectacle after starting up during the "excess burn phase!" "Mmm, I love the smell of ACF50 in the morning.... Smells like victory!" 😁

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  5 лет назад

      Yeah I agree - if I'd had more time I would have done exactly that - I do cover the whole exhaust system (and love that smell of a freshly ACF'd bike!)....

You totally nailed that. Great stuff! :-) Note to self - get a bike dryer.....

  • @Srgthe
    @Srgthe 5 лет назад

    glad it worked this time but I think you need to adjust the fan/spread of the gun a little. seems abit tight. one knob controls the flow/feed another will be the spread of the fan from the nozzle.

    I feel sorry for you guys in Blighty. So glad we don't need to do this sort of thing in Australia. I cant imagine having to prepare my bikes for winter. Strewth! the thought! But in saying that, I guess its a lot better than having a kangaroo hop in front of you whilst riding, & you then die. March of this year, a mother of a kangaroo jumped out in front of me at 60kmh (I was doing 160 only seconds earlier) on my RR. It fell over just in front of me as it realised we were going head-on. I swerved and missed it. Only seven days later, the news reported a motorcyclist on the M4 in Sydney died when a roo jumped out in front of him. The RR was sold in Oct of this year, hence the decision why. I guess ACF50 maintenance would be a much better chore to behold than any roo accident. Loved the animated look on your face Mr Flyer about getting it all working! Cheers groover!

  • @N269
    @N269 8 месяцев назад

    I know I'm late to the party.. just an observation here.
    1) you can use just the compressor and a nozzle to "dry" the bike off (but that heater unit looks dickty!) I use a long (400mm? nozzle and a rubber hose to cover the metal end - Machine Mart, just add your hose to the tip)
    2) Hopefully the bike was riden before to get engine/oil/fluids up to temp. Many folk, myself included, have warmed the bike just on the stand - I am now an absolute convert to NOT do that, UNLESS you have a fan (bigger the better) blowing over the front thru the radiator. The reason for that is, you eliminate localized overheating aroud the engine. Your Speed Triple is a perfect example - the exhaust pipes will burn the belly pan and possibly the back side of the front mudguard as well as the back side of the tyre. So, advice, NEVER leave bike to warm up unless there is ample air flow around the hot bitz (use a fan to simulate air flow like you're riding)
    3) Be cautious when washing your beauty (beauties) when using normal tap water. I know for a fact that the water in SE England is so hard that you can sharpen knives with it. When I was living 7oaks, I used a water butt to collect rain water and I used that, not the tap water. Currently, Isle of Man, the water is so, so, so, so... soft. You can use it in you rads, so be weary of the hard salts in your local tap water.
    Besides that, 👍👍
    Thanks for your videos.
