The Michelin Motorcycle Bib Mousse Application Gel is designed for motorcycle riders who use Michelin Bib Mousses. Its key benefit is ensuring a smooth and correct fitment of the mousse, which prevents friction and extends the mousse's lifespan, ultimately saving you money and hassle. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for use with Michelin Mousses and requires one tube per tire change for optimal results.

Apply a generous, even layer to the inside of the tire and a thin layer to the mousse. One 50g tube is typically sufficient for one tire and mousse combination.
It is strongly recommended to use only Michelin Bib Mousse Application Gel. Other lubricants may not be compatible and could degrade the mousse or tire, or not provide adequate lubrication for fitting.
Michelin generally recommends replacing Bib Mousses after approximately 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) or when they show signs of wear, such as becoming brittle or losing their shape. Using the application gel during fitting helps achieve the maximum lifespan.
Yes, the Michelin Mousse Application Gel is typically included in the box with each new Michelin Bib Mousse from the factory.
Fitting the mousse will be significantly more difficult, and there is an increased risk of friction-related damage to both the mousse and the tire, potentially shortening the mousse's lifespan.
It is recommended to use a fresh tube for each tire change and routine maintenance to ensure optimal lubrication and hygiene. If a small amount is left and properly sealed, it might be usable, but fresh is always best.
Ensure you have applied a sufficient and even layer of Bib Mousse Application Gel to both the inside of the tire and the mousse itself. Check that no debris is present inside the tire.
This often occurs without sufficient lubrication. Always use the recommended gel. If damage is suspected, remove the mousse and inspect it carefully for tears or cuts. Reapply gel generously before re-installation.
Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. Store the tube in a sealed container if necessary. Avoid prolonged exposure to air.

Compatibility:
This gel is specifically formulated for use with Michelin Bib Mousses. It is not intended for use with traditional tire liners or other brands of mousses. Always use the gel recommended by the mousse manufacturer for best results.
Care:
Store the gel tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent drying out. While the gel doesn't require specific cleaning, ensure your hands are clean before application to avoid introducing contaminants.
