    Don't use those at all in your engine. Those things have teflon and or other friction modifiers in them that will harm your clutch.

    Unlike cars, the engine oil is used to lubricate the clutch. It is also used to cool the lower half of the engine. Friction modifiers are bad for our bikes.

    Stick with regular oil or full synthetic.

    I fell off my bike at a red light. If going 200 mph i would assuredly fall of my bike.

    Dayyyuuum....you're cookin'! You're gonna need at least two Diehard Duralast car batteries hooked up with jumper cables in order for your bike to have enough juice to hit 300MPH! Best of luck, and be sure to tape it!

    Don't do it! Additives like Slic-50 leave a Teflon like coating on all metal parts. While working great innitially it eventually builds up and flakes off due to engine heat. Look at the the underside of your BBQ grill lid, you'll get the picture. Think of paint chips circulating in your oil. I'm new to vfrs but I have yet to read anything about oil related failures. Stick with what Honda says in your manual!

    When adding seafoam, you're not supposed to actually operate the vehicle with seafoam in the crankcase. After you add the recommended dose per quart of oil capacity, you just let it idle for a bit then proceed with your normal oil change.

    That said, I put Seafoam in the crankcase oil of my 85 interceptor on the second oil change after I got it. Made the oil blacker than a black hole, so I suppose that its claims that it can flush sludge/crankcase desposits may be somewhat substantiated and I experienced no detrimental effects to clutch/transmission operation. I did notice that, while the seafoam was in the oil, engine noise decreased slightly. The 'normal' level of noise returned after the oil was changed though.
