MOTOREX IN THE NEWS ETHANOL BOOSTER? NO PROBLEM! Ethanol is a form of alcohol derived from biomass that is mixed with gasoline in different proportions. For example, E10 indicates 10 % ethanol, while E85 is 85 %. Everyday unleaded 95 also often contains up to 5 % ethanol. In the presence of water condensation, ethanol has a tendency to separate from the fuel mixture, which can lead to oxidation. ETHANOL BOOSTER fuel additive prevents separation, meeting a timely need by ensuring optimum combustion. Especially during lengthy down times, ETHANOL BOOSTER prevents separation, improves starting performance, helps remove water and protects the fuel system against corrosion. ETHANOL BOOSTER can be used with any two-stroke or four-stroke fuel containing ethanol.

SHERCO CHILE RUNS ON MOTOREX French Enduro and trial motorcycle manufacturer SHERCO, currently represented in some 50 countries worldwide, is something of a best-kept secret among insiders. In Chile the official SHERCO importer, a longtime MOTOREX customer, will be competing on a SHERCO SR 450 in the 2013 Dakar Rally starting January 5, 2013. Next year’s Rally will again be held in South America (Peru, Argentina and Chile), finishing in Santiago de Chile on January 20. The photo shows SHERCO brand manager and Dakar 2013 competitor Axel Heilenkotter along with Felipe Olivares, General Director of MOTOREX Chile. Needless to say, the SHERCO motorcycle importer in Chile not only uses MOTOREX in all its racing activities, but also throughout its dealer network.
