Cool ideasDo you know what…?Comic

Dear reader

“Made in Switzerland”: will this symbol of pre-cision, high-tech and innovation continue toproudly adorn watches, machine tools, medi-cines or lubricants in the future? Is “Producedby MOTOREX” still possible, if costs forsalaries, social insurance contributions, energyand also especially for work safety are manytimes higher than in other production centers?

The daily challenge facing the head of produc-tion is to ensure that the company’s productsare manufactured cost effectively, in the properquality and by the specified deadline. Not onlyproductivity, but also workplace security andsafety are key. Can MOTOREX’s site inSwitzerland survive the flood of national regu-lations in the medium term? Guidelines, waterprotection legislation and air purity laws etc. are resulting in increasingly high costs whichare not paid in international markets.

MOTOREX is rising to these challenges and is committed to the safety of humans and theenvironment. But sustainable corporate devel-opment must also be possible. Our goal is toreconcile these two principles with a hefty doseof common sense.

Why not invent products which don’t need regulation? Such as our new rapidly biodegrad-able MOTOREX OEKOSYNT HEEShydraulic fluid? We’d like to tell you about this,as well as our joint venture with PETRONASin Malaysia.

Optimum job safety and an internationally competitive “Made in Switzerland” label – both of these must continue to be possible forMOTOREX.

KART LUBE RACING 2T has been improvedagain by the first-time use of new 2-cycle low-friction technology. Novel additives reducefriction in all moving engine components suchas pistons and connecting rod and crankshaftbearings. This reduces the temperature in thesewear-intensive components and increases pow-er output measurably. The components’ wearbehavior is also significantly improved. This isconfirmed by laboratory and real-life tests con-ducted in cooperation with the renowned kartmanufacturer and MOTOREX partner,ROTAX.

In January 2005, the new KART LUBERACING 2T passed its first major acid testwith flying colors in races in the GRAND FINAL ROTAX MAX challenge in Sharm el Sheik in Egypt.

NORCO wasfounded by Bert

Lewis in 1964 and today isone of themost re-

nowned pro-viders of

bikes and accessories in Canada andNorth America. With a dense net-work of independent distributorswhich includes Canada’s major department stores, NORCO and its products have a considerable impact on the market.

CAR LINE captures the Greek marketA higher than average number of cars inGreece are from Japan and Korea. In fact cars from these countries now hold morethan 50% of the market! This is good newsfor IAPONIKI, the leading provider of OEMspares. Since 1973, this company, which iscurrently part of the TEMOT group, hasspecialized in the purchasing and distributionof spare parts for cars from the Land of theRising Sun.

IAPONIKI has twelve large branches supply-ing hundreds of regional garages throughoutthe country, and even on the island of Crete.The quality-consciousness of owners ofJapanese cars, which have shone for yearswith their high reliability in breakdown sta-tistics, has got the MOTOREX CAR LINEoff to a spectacular start in Greece. The low-vapor-pressure base oils used in the CARLINE products have resulted in a measurablereduction in oil consumption in many vehi-cles! This is a convincing proof of quality inthe heat of the Greek sunshine!

Geneva Motor Show: 3 reasons to celebrateThe organizers and exhibitors at the 75thGeneva International Motor Show hadthree good reasons at once to celebrate:The centenary of the first automobile ex-hibition in Switzerland, the 75th GenevaMotor Show and a new record attendanceof 747,700 visitors!

The reliability of the many KTM machines

participating in the Dakar 05 took several

teams straight to the winners’ podium.

Bearing wear was measurably lower with

CROSS POWER 4T than with the competitor

motor oil.

Development report: KTM RACING 4TThe well-known Austrian motorcyclemanufacturer KTM has been workingclosely with MOTOREX for about 3years now. In a first step, a specificationfor factory-filling series-production motorcycles was defined for each model, and the corresponding MOTOREX lubricants were evaluated minutely fortheir suitability, using the official API/ACEA and JASO releases as a reliable basis. The result of this close cooperationwas the fully synthetic CROSS POWER4T SAE 10W/50, featuring a new formu-la and innovative additive technology.The KTM engineers’ response to thishigh performance motor oil was imme-diate and enthusiastic.

A revealing comparison testHowever, a motorcycle manufacturer likeKTM wants to be totally sure of its choicebefore it specifies and factory-fills a motoroil. MOTOREX CROSS POWER 4TSAE 10W/50 therefore had to be put tothe acid test in a comparison with a com-petitor lubricant.

The KTM and MOTOREX engineerswere interested in real-life results as wellas those from the test stand. In a rigorousfield test, both lubricants with the same

viscosity and with the same fully syntheticbasic formula were run in series-produc-tion motorcycles and meticulously evalu-ated. It should be pointed out here thatMOTOREX CROSS POWER 4T is op-timally suited for all high-revving, high-torque 4-cycle motors with its extremelypressure-resistant and hence stable lubri-cant film.

100 hours on the test standAPL GmbH of Landau in Germany wasselected as a neutral and independent development service provider for the teststand evaluation. This company has ultra-modern dynamic engine test stands andtop of the range instrumentation for wearand other laboratory investigations(www.apl-landau.de).

As the final test, two KTM 660 LC4 1-cylinder, 4-cycle engines with ratings of roughly 44 kW were to be tested inparallel on two engine test stands for 100 hours, at oil temperatures that ex-ceeded 160°C at times. The only differ-ence was the motor oil used:MOTOREX’s fully synthetic CROSSPOWER 4T SAE 10W/50 in comparisonwith the motor oil supplied by the previ-ous lubricant partner.

Next target: motor sportsCROSS POWER 4T’s impressive testresults also highlighted MOTOREX’s potential as lubrication innovator to thedecision makers in the KTM racing de-partment. A purebred racing fluid was developed based on CROSS POWER 4Ttechnology, but with uncompromisingand consistent orientation to the require-ments of the KTM racing department.The high viscosity class guarantees opti-mum oil distribution even in the tem-perature ranges typical in racing condi-tions. The additive package was also given a further shot in the arm. The uncompromising KTM RACING4T SAE 20W/60 was born.

The new KTM RACING 4T SAE20W/60 motor oil, specifically tailored to the profile of KTM’s powerful 4-cycle racing engines was then adopted in theKTM racing department. With its slight-ly higher viscosity, KTM RACING 4T ideally covers the requirements of racing motors with outputs exceeding 105 kW/lwith regard to the prevailing combustionand bearing pressures, as well as the extreme temperature loading of the motor oil. The verdict was unanimous at KTM Racing: KTM RACING 4Tshould be tested under real racing condi-tions in DAKAR 05!

Trial by fire in the DAKAR 2005KTM was well represented in this year’sBarcelona to Dakar rallye, since many ofthe 236 participating motorcycles werecustomer racing bikes. There were twoofficial MOTOREX-KTM teams: The Red Bull KTM USA team withfour riders and the MOTOREX Aus-tralia KTM team with two riders.Apart from the actual placings, theKTM and MOTOREX representa-tives were also interested this year in the results achieved with the newly developed MOTOREXKTM RACING 4T SAE 20W/60. Over the entire 8,956 km route,not a single one of the KTM 660Rallye or 450 Rallye machines droppedout due to engine damage! Given the ex-treme conditions in Africa, this alone is aresult which all involved can be proud of.

KTM RACING 4T and otherMOTOREX products are available world-wide through KTM’s dealer network.

Series-production motorcycles from

KTM are factory-filled with high

performance MOTOREX CROSS

POWER 4T SAE 10W/50 motor oil.

This motor oil served as the basis

for development of the uncom-

promising racing motor oil KTM

RACING 4T SAE 20W/60.

With MOTOREX CROSS POWER 4T, clutches

can be precisely engaged and heavily

loaded in the oil bath without slipping.

The piston also still looked quite good

after the test, with wear parameters with-

Outstanding test results for CROSS POWER 4TThe APL test institute provided professional documentation of the test.

Here is a brief summary of the results:

• Both motor oils fulfilled the test requirements.

• However, MOTOREX CROSS POWER 4T exhibited significantly better wear protection over its competitor.This could be clearly seen even with the naked

eye in the contact conditions of the main bearing and the crankpin.

• The quantity of fuel in the CROSS POWER 4T motor oil was significantly lower.This is a particularly important advantage for KTM LC4 engines, as it prevents haz-ardous dilution of the lubricant with gasoline.

• CROSS POWER 4T also exhibited outstanding clutch behavior.

• KTM therefore officially recommends CROSS POWER 4T SAE 10W/50 in its mainte-nance documents for all series-production KTM 4-cycle motors.

Its optimum viscosity temperature be-

the product of choice evenat 150°C.

A motor oil puts on the pressureMOTOREX hands back a generous por-tion of reliable lubrication. With its newfully synthetic formula, XPERIENCE FS-X SAE 10W/60 builds up an especiallythick lubricating film which stays extreme-ly pressure resistant even when things startto get very hot. Since its viscosity is 70%higher than an SAE 10W/40 motor oil, itensures reliable coating in all areas of theengine. The motor oil cannot seep into the combustion chamber via the cylinderwalls or valve shafts.

No limitsImproved viscosity in the upper tempera-ture ranges does not mean compromises incold-weather operation though. The en-gine starts just as easily and reliably as withan SAE 10W/40 oil. All of the lube pointsare immediately supplied with oil, and thenecessary oil pressure builds up extremelyquickly. With its extremely wide tempera-ture range, XPERIENCE FS-X SAE10W/60 is therefore also suited to year-round use and guarantees high mechanicalstability, thermal reliability and long ser-vice life.

The fully synthetic MOTOREXXPERIENCE FS-X SAE 10W/60 istherefore the best choice for all engines in sporty cars.

…and then the red oil lamp lights up: low oil pressure! This is almost always dueto a low oil level or to a motor oil with in-sufficient reserves.

Not just for extremesAnyone who drives a powerful, high-rev-ving vehicle with a sporty turn places espe-cially tough demands on the performanceand reliability of their motor oil. Depend-ing on the product, high operating tem-peratures in the engine can cause a signifi-cant fraction of the motor oil to evaporateafter just a few hundred kilometers. Theresult can be critical oil consumption. Cam shafts, cylinder walls and all the other components in the engine are thenno longer adequately supplied with the oilthey need to survive. But aggressive stop-and-go traffic, especially in the hot sum-mer months, can also attack the motor oil.

Fully synthetic and SAE 10W/60!The wear-protecting viscosity of themotor oil decreases as the engine tem-perature increases. For example, the oilloses nearly 15% of its viscosity if its tem-perature rises by just 10°C – i.e. the oilfilm becomes gradually thinner. With itsXPERIENCE FS-X SAE 10W/60 motoroil – a totally new development –

remains virtually constant even over a wide range of temperatures. This not only enhances driving pleasure, it also helps to increase driving safety enormously, bothon the racetrack and on the road.

Specially developed for modern motorcycle forksThe new generation of MOTOREXFORK OILS is available in SAE 2.5W,5W, 7.5W, 10W, 15W and 10W/30 vis-cosities. This fine subdivision of viscosityclasses enables exact adherence to manu-facturer specifications, as well as optimumtuning of damping properties to currentterrain conditions, such as in off-road racing.

In addition to these advantages of low-friction technology, MOTOREX FORKOILS also offer highly effective protectionagainst corrosion by condensate, are resist-ant to aging and prevent foaming even under extreme conditions.

MOTOREX low-friction technology – the new standard in fork oils.

Motorcycle fork technology has under-gone significant advances in recent yearsand now provides impressive performancewith all manner of refinements. However,these results depend not only on the basicfork design and settings, but also verygreatly on the damping oil used. This hasto flow lightning-fast through a complexsystem of valves and channels at all tem-peratures, withstand high pressure loadsand still provide optimum lubrication.

Low-friction technology for tangiblybetter driving comfortParticular attention was paid to ride com-fort in the development of the newMOTOREX FORK OILS. On the onehand, damping entails the accommoda-tion and softening of pressure in the formof impacts, shocks and wave-like frequen-cies, but on the other hand, the rider alsoneeds to receive clear feedback on thecurrent terrain condition. Under no cir-cumstances can the piston rod be allowedto move jerkily in the damper (stick-slip).A newly developed, low-friction additivehas led to never-before attainable damp-ing properties.

As a result of the outstanding temperaturebehavior of the base oil and the new addi-tive package, the damping characteristic

Damping comfort and terrain feed-

back are two especially important

issues for every motorcyclist, both

on and off the road. A feature on the

new MOTOREX fork oils.

Ecological and economicalWith the development of the new rapidlybiodegradable OEKOSYNT HEES hy-draulic fluids, development engineers andchemists have successfully overcome thechallenge of uniting maximum environ-mental compatibility with long service life.

Biodegradable within…If a lubricant escapes into the environment,it can serve as a source of nutrition to the

millions of microorganisms that live in theground and water. Ideally, the microbeswill transform the lubricant into water andcarbon dioxide.

OEKOSYNT HEES hydraulic fluids ful-fill the toughest degradation test, OECD301B, which requires a biodegradation rate of 60% within 28 days. A fluid thatperforms well in the laboratory also has to be just as good in real-life use, andOEKOSYNT HEES has given an im-pressive account of itself in extensive fieldtesting.

OEKOSYNT HEES is available in ISOVG 22, 32, 46 and 68 viscosities.

Since hard-workingimporters also need a vacation now and then, Hans decided to take a trip to the Fiji islands. This group of 330 islands lies in the South Pacific and can be easily reached by plane fromAustralia in just a few hours.

The larger islands are volcanic in origin and mountainous; the mountains on Viti Levu are up to 1,323 m high, for example.Apart from this, Fiji also offers coral islands and mangroves.Tropical rain forests lie to the windward side of the mountains,with savannas in their lee. The tropical-maritime climate lendsitself to light clothing, and what could be better than a T’shirtfrom MOTOREX? This picture was taken at a native presen-tation for tourists. The man portraying the Fijian warrior alsocommented to Hans: “Nice green on your T-shirt!” Thanks for the compliment!
