    IMHO, i think this combination make the oil a much thinner.

    After trying this combination , i shifted to Motul mineral oil and bike was very smooth(do not know was it the effect of oil or boric acid+old oil) which had sticked to the engine to make it smooth.
    Boric acid works only if the particle size is 4 to 10 microns, is used in adequate quantity,and of good quality and purity.
    It will not give effective results in good engines or engines which had done less than 20,000Kms., because the particles seal up scratched bore surface , and other parts which are a little worn, to give better compression sealing,and at the same time giving a smoother surface to the parts.
    In fact it is not recommended in vehicles with low mileage or good and well maintained engine because there will be no gain..

    And also i won't recommend any one use this in engines oil because 1.it will make your clutch slip.
    2.it forms a layer of boron on inside components, think of it blocking small but crucial passage ways for oil.
    It can lead to heart attack, to you & your step.
    I had used it in the KB100 and now in ZMA without problem....but the mix and quantity are critical....would advise against it's usage if you have doubts..

    DO NOT use it with Petrol..it will lead to problems of petrol lines getting clogged.

    It is better to use it in the engine oil in 4 stroke vehicles .
    This is something which from the World War II the Japs and the Germans had been trying to perfect. They understood the working but never got the particle size right.Argone Labs have done a lot of work in this...here is a link:

    @ Honda_CBF, as you listed the demerits it sounds if you don't shake properly it will spoil vital components if you are always a good cocktail maker continue shaking
    else
    sooner you will have to pay price for changing the components you
    mentioned.[/QUOTE]

    it didn't mixed well because i didn't followed the procedure.
    Boric acid is soluble in alcohol, so one have to get acetone or ethanol & mix Boric acid in it, & then this solution in petrol. Then it will work w/o problem.
    One question is RUM soluble in petrol?

    results are: lowered smoke, lowered vibes, extremely smoth engine and there was no carbon build up at the tip of spark plug.
    Cons are it won't mix with petrol you have to sake the scoot so that it can distribute in well ratio with petrol in the tank or else the Boric acid power will sink to the bottom and you have to Get your carb cleaned 'cause it will also get stuck into the jets....

    boric acid.....

    Hey guys, there is already a product by the name "MOTOR SILK: in us......which uses boric acid and is already patented.

    MotorSilk, LubriSilk, Biodegradable Engine & Motor Treatment Lubricants, Motor Silk, Boron CLS Bond Lubricants - Evergreen America Corporation

    Now,i request you not to use the boric acid as this is confined only to "DRY CLUTCH" transmission.

    But for cars/heavy vehicles this is great product,as one treatment lasts 1,25,000 miles...wow

    1. ) wondered as that plays a vital role why none of the major oil manufacturers tried it till ?

    2. ) ask the actual guy who invented this mixture to prove and patent right the technology ?

    we should see how it helps and spoils the engine in a long run

    Since boron treated metal surface becomes corrosion resistant, that means parts wont mate continually and it will keep the parts like in the new bike

    tell me engine core components such as bore and piston matting is good for the bike or not ?

    Sounds interesting,

    Cars have dry clutch where as most of the bikes has the wet clutch

    Waiting to see what our experts opinion
