Workshop lubricants and sprays keep your bike running clean and your maintenance sessions fast. This range covers Putoline and Motul cans for tyre fitting, carb cleaning, contact cleaning, metal protection, penetrating jobs and air filter care. Pick the right spray for the task in front of you and get back on the road sooner.
How to choose the right motorcycle lubricant
Lubricant choice comes down to the job in front of you. A 500ml tyre fitting lube seats beads cleanly during tyre changes, while a 400ml air filter spray builds the tacky film that traps grit on foam filters. Match the can to the task and you cut maintenance time without guesswork.

Tips that save you time
Degrease before you protect, every time. Use a 500ml contact cleaner on connectors, let it flash off for 60 seconds, then seal with a corrosion barrier. For foam air filters, a single even 400ml coat holds the dust film better than 2 heavy passes. Penetrating spray with PTFE works best with a 10 minute soak before you touch the spanner. Store every aerosol below 50C, keep them out of direct sun above 25C, and shake for 30 seconds before each use for a consistent spray pattern. The 300ml bicycle lube suits lighter chain and cable work where a 400ml can is overkill.
Frequently asked questions
What is tyre fitting lube used for?
Tyre fitting lube helps the tyre bead slide over the rim and seat cleanly during a tyre change. The 500ml Putoline spray reduces the force needed to mount a tyre and protects the bead from pinching or tearing.
Can I use contact cleaner on motorcycle electrics?
Yes. The 500ml Putoline contact cleaner is made for electrical connectors and switchgear. Spray it on, let it flash off for around 60 seconds so no residue remains, then reconnect. Follow with a corrosion protect spray for a lasting barrier.
What air filter spray works on foam filters?
The Motul A2 air filter spray in the 400ml can builds a tacky film on foam filters that traps grit before it reaches the engine. Apply one even coat across the foam and let it set before refitting the filter.
