Editorial Contents “Customer service – part of a real premium product” Dear readers and customers, Hardly any other product invisibly performs such an eminently important service as a lubricant, unobtrusively working over thousands of miles or hours of operation. The quality of a lubricant is neither visible to the eye nor measurable by the hand. Ideal suitability to its purpose and lasting performance are a matter of trust. The engine or transmission designer’s specifications must be compatible with those of the lubricant producer. “It doesn’t hurt to ask” – answers from the BUCHER-MOTOREX Group’s customer service are free of charge! In our opinion, capable customer service is a substantial part of a premium product. Every day we answer technical questions concerning a wide range of applications. Your problem won’t be endlessly rerouted through a computerized call center, but solved right away at the MOTOREX plant in Langenthal, where all the threads run together. Another good example is the article on construction equipment in this issue. A complex topic, but one that our customer service and your MOTOREX partner can help make clear and understandable. This valuable service is free of charge to you as our customer and gives you the confidence that you’ve chosen just the right product. We hope you’ll find helpful ideas in this latest issue.

News News Photo: KTM Also ideal for 4-MIX engines: MOTOREX ASPEN 2T A new generation of engines has arrived. Known as 4-MIX engines, they are produced by such manufacturers as STIHL ® . Unlike conventional four-stroke engines, which require separate fuel feed and lubrication systems, the new STIHL ® 4-MIX engines use a two-stroke fuel mixture. Reformulated: MOTOREX ATF DEXRON III H If the precision mechanics and transmission management of state-of-the-art automatic transmissions are to work together effectively, the transmission fluid must play its part. Just as an automatic transmission needs intelligent electronics, so it needs perfect lubrication from the right automatic-transmission-fluid (ATF) to transmit the enormous forces in play. 4-MIX engines are substantially lighter and more compact than conventional four-stroke engines; they run in any position, are quiet and have low emissions. MOTOREX ASPEN 2T is ideal for the new design. The eco-friendly alkylate gasoline is free of lead, benzene, aromatic compounds, and sulfur. What’s more, it can be stored for up to two years. Thanks to its low-residue combustion characteristics, the STIHL ® 4-MIX engine’s emissions are already over 25 percent below the EU small engine emission limits that will take effect in 2008! MOTOREX ATF DEXRON III H is an outstanding achievement for the MOTOREX chemists and engineers who developed it. It is suitable for all automatic transmissions requiring DEXRON III or lower quality fluids and exhibits exceptionally stable friction characteristics and enhanced oxidation stability. It ensures improved shifting quality during its entire service life. Motocross spectacle at Zurich’s Hallenstadion Dustin Miller Europe versus USA. Freestyle motocross has become a rising star in the action sport skies. On May 19 and 20, Zurich’s Hallenstadion saw bold, fearless freestyle motocross riders flying through the air on motorcycles, reaching heights of up to 15 meters, playing fast and loose with the laws of gravity, showing off “sick tricks,” and gathering “big air” points. As if these leaps through the air were not breathtaking enough, the requirement of landing safely on both wheels presents an even more incredible challenge. The Hallenstadion event was an ideal opportunity for MOTOREX to show its involvement with this “challenge the limits” sport: alongside the 13,800 fans, MOTOREX was represented very well at the event. And MOTOREX motor oils were there too in many of the engines of these “flying” motorcycles, helping provide the power to launch themselves to dizzying heights. What a sight! See www.hardcorefmx.ch for photos. Runs well, sells well: KTM Adventure 990/S The new KTM Adventure 990/S, at KTM dealers since the start of this year, boasts 999 cc displacement, nearly 100 HP and pleeeeenty of torque. It not only looks good, it also sells well. Rendezvous in Moutier: the 10th SIAMS For decades, the small town of Moutier in the Swiss Jura has been a center of excellence for precision turning. In mid-May, industry pros in automation, machine tools, and the supplier industry met there for the 10th time at the SIAMS 2006 trade show. MOTOREX AG LANGENTHAL was represented in Moutier by highly motivated staff at an attractive booth. In addition to engaging in intensive networking, MOTOREX won admirers with its new SWISSCUT ORTHO NF-X generation of cutting oils. There was also strong As KTM’s partner, MOTOREX is doing its part in the successful introduction of the new cycle with its CROSS POWER 4T SAE 10W/50 motor oil. MOTOREX is KTM’s official worldwide lubricant partner and communicates closely with the plant in Austria. Especially in “heavy” motorcycles, the sensitive clutch response provided by the carefully balanced package of additives in CROSS POWER 4T is a big plus.

Photo: MB On the road to success: collaborating with YAMAHA Even now, it’s not too soon to declare the collaboration between MOTOREX and YAMAHA Motor Germany a resounding success. Not only can YAMAHA’s professional riders be found on the winner’s podium after every race, but the experience gained in these races has led MOTOREX to a second decisive step in the evolution of its new high-performance 4 stroke motor oil. The photo shows Australian YZF-R6 rider Kevin Curtain at YAMAHA’s engine test bed. The performance figures, of course, are a wellguarded secret. But we can say this much: with the latest formulation of the MOTOREX custom-made motor oil, the performance trend of YAMAHA’s racing engines is clearly rising...
