WHAT’S THE USE OF “GREASING”
AND HOW TO DO IT
In the technical jargon, the term “greasing”
is used to indicate the operation carried out by the driver
during the race or the practice to increase the lubrication
of the cylinder. For this purpose, the holes on the air
filter are closed by hand while the engine is running at
full speed. The ideal spot to perform this operation is
usually at the end of the longest straight stretch (the
one which most wears out mechanical parts), right before
braking. It is very important to perform this operation
quickly and with the throttle still fully open. This simple
trick increases the lubrication of the motor reducing the
air intake and the mechanical wear.
