As a Redex salesman, I can tell you that using Redex will give you 25.5% more BHP and increase your fuel economy to 232.6 MPG. Also woman will find you irresistible if you use it as aftershave ;D ;D ;D

Helps clean up dirty or dribbling carbs, not much point using it if not suffereing these issues on Hondas with their unleaded ready heads, used to use it in my bmw as there is a risk of valve seat recession if the bike were ridden hard as bmw did not fit valve seats that could cope with unleaded til much more recently.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Years ago my dad had a T500 he put it at TDC and soaked the piston in redex to soften the carbon when he fired it up the next day it ran backwards.  ;D
