Make routine motorcycle service easier to specify
LIQUI MOLY deserves a place on the INTERMOT shortlist for buyers who need to connect workshop consumables with clear application advice. We would prioritize a conversation about matching oil to the motorcycle and turning chain care into a repeatable service procedure.
- Check a wet-clutch oil against real customer motorcycles and their operating manuals.
- Evaluate cleaner and chain lubricant together, including material restrictions and evaporation between stages.
- Compare retail containers with workshop oil packs before expanding stock.
- Use the technical advice channel to resolve application questions before an order.
The essentials for a useful conversation
- LIQUI MOLY is an Ulm-based automotive chemicals company with a dedicated MOTORBIKE range.
- Our shortlist covers three distinct jobs: engine lubrication, chain degreasing and chain lubrication.
- Street Race 10W-40 lists API SP and JASO MA2 specifications and suitability for wet clutches.
- The cleaner supports O-ring and X-ring chains; plastics and painted parts need particular care.
- Chain Spray white leaves a visible white ceramic coating, helping show where lubricant has been applied.
- INTERMOT runs 19–21 February 2027; visitor exhibition hours are 09:00–18:00 daily.

Connect the lubricant shelf to the service bay
A motorcycle consumables range is most useful when the person selling it can explain which machine it fits and how it should be used. LIQUI MOLY combines engine oils with cleaning, lubrication and care products, giving dealers and workshops several connected service categories to evaluate.
Our shortlist follows two common workshop jobs: an oil service and chain maintenance. The oil makes specification and pack choice tangible; the cleaner and white chain spray show how preparation affects the next treatment. The wider MOTORBIKE portfolio also covers two-stroke engines, additives and riding-equipment care, leaving room to expand an assortment after the core applications are settled.
Best for buyers responsible for consumables and correct application
Workshop owners, parts managers, motorcycle retailers and distributors should bring actual applications and ordering constraints to the discussion.
Good fit if you
- Service four-stroke motorcycles and need to match oil viscosity and specifications to each model.
- Maintain chain-driven motorcycles with O-ring or X-ring chains.
- Sell motorcycle care products and need practical application guidance for customers.
- Want to compare retail packs with larger oil containers for workshop use.
Skip if
- Need a single oil that can be prescribed across all engines without checking manufacturer requirements.
- Are sourcing replacement chains, sprockets or workshop machinery as the main purchase.
- Need a performance gain or extended service interval guaranteed by changing consumables alone.
The selection is a starting point for application matching; retain the motorcycle manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions.
Three products, three clear service jobs
These are the offerings we would put on the discussion list for INTERMOT buyers. Use the scenarios below to define a useful evaluation.
Motorbike 4T Synth 10W-40 Street Race
This fully synthetic 10W-40 oil serves air- and water-cooled four-stroke engines, including applications with wet clutches. API SP and JASO MA2 give a workshop concrete specifications to compare with the motorcycle’s manual. For a service manager handling road bikes and sporting use, the useful evaluation is to map several customer models to viscosity, required specifications, fill quantity and pack choice, producing an application list before stock is ordered. The range includes 1 l and 4 l containers as well as larger workshop packs; choose around actual oil-service demand.
Motorbike Chain and Brake Cleaner
A solvent cleaner for degreasing motorcycle and ATV chains, including O-ring and X-ring designs, and for cleaning specified brake components. It removes oil and grease contamination and prepares a chain for fresh lubricant. In a chain-service evaluation, follow the spray-and-drain procedure, collect runoff and allow solvent to evaporate before lubrication; the application guidance gives approximately ten minutes. The outcome should be a practical preparation procedure that identifies surfaces to protect: avoid spraying plastics, check compatibility on hidden painted areas and do not soak rubber components.
Motorbike Chain Spray white
This fully synthetic chain lubricant uses a visible white ceramic application and is intended for motorcycle chains with or without O-rings and X-rings. Its distinct role is the lubrication stage after cleaning, with adhesion and corrosion protection as relevant selection criteria for road use. A useful controlled application on a cleaned chain would let a technician assess coverage and explain the change in consistency as the solvent evaporates. The resulting handover procedure should distinguish applying the spray from allowing it to develop its final adherence; evaluate that workflow before adding it to a customer service package.
Details that change the purchasing decision
These are the distinctions we would resolve before comparing a proposed assortment with existing stock.
Wet-clutch suitability is a selection criterion
API SP / JASO MA2Street Race 10W-40 lists both specifications. Match these and viscosity to the engine requirement; the racing name alone does not settle suitability.
Oil naming and article numbers need careful mapping
2026 range changesLIQUI MOLY introduced Advanced Full Synthetic classification changes for parts of its motorcycle oil range, with revised article numbers. Use an exact product-to-SKU crosswalk when migrating stock; do not assume every 10W-40 is the same offering.
Chain cleaning has a material boundary
Protect surrounding surfacesO-ring and X-ring suitability does not remove the cleaner’s restrictions for plastics, paint and rubber soaking. A workshop needs an application procedure suited to the whole assembly.
A visible coating supports application control
White ceramic applicationChain Spray white makes coverage visible. Compare its application and final adherence with your current chain-care routine; visibility alone is not evidence of longer chain life.
Pack choice shapes stock handling
Retail and workshop formatsThe oil comes in small containers and larger workshop formats, while the chain products use aerosols. Compare expected consumption, storage and replenishment with the distributor before committing.
- Specification matching
- Material compatibility
- SKU mapping
- Pack selection
A useful supplier discussion should end with an agreed application list and ordering references. Treat service-life and protection language as product positioning unless evidence specific to your use case supports a stronger conclusion.
An Ulm-based automotive chemicals business
LIQUI MOLY GmbH is based at Jerg-Wieland-Straße 4, 89081 Ulm, Germany. Founded in 1957, the company began with a molybdenum disulfide oil additive. Its wider portfolio now spans motor oils, gear oils, additives, greases, pastes, adhesives and service and vehicle-care chemicals. Alongside motorcycle products, it serves passenger cars, commercial vehicles, marine and other applications, supported by technical advice and workshop training services.
Use the three-day show to settle application and supply
Published visitor exhibition hours are 09:00–18:00 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The sequence below is TSI’s suggested preparation and follow-up plan; choose the day that fits your itinerary.

Practical answers for motorcycle buyers
Who should prioritize this shortlist?
Motorcycle workshop owners, parts managers, retailers and distributors evaluating engine oil and chain-care consumables will get the most from these three offerings.
Is Street Race 10W-40 suitable for wet clutches?
It is intended for four-stroke engines with or without wet clutches and lists API SP and JASO MA2 specifications. Check the motorcycle manufacturer’s required viscosity and specifications before choosing it.
Can the chain cleaner be used on O-ring and X-ring chains?
Yes. Its applications include both types, but avoid spraying plastics, test hidden painted areas for compatibility and do not soak rubber components in the cleaner.
Why select both cleaner and Chain Spray white?
They perform separate steps: the cleaner removes oily contamination, then the lubricant treats the clean chain after solvent evaporation. Chain Spray white provides a visible white ceramic application.
Are larger oil packs available for workshops?
Yes. Street Race 10W-40 is listed in 1 l and 4 l containers and larger 20 l, 60 l and 205 l formats. Confirm the local article number and supply arrangement before ordering.
When can visitors enter INTERMOT 2027?
