    Hey, i think my motorcycle is burning some oil, and i want to add some of that stop smoke stuff, i though it was for pouring into the gas, but its for the motoroil, and that got me worried about additives making the clutch slip. has anyone done this without making the clutch slip?

    I put motor kote in my bike. It says it is safe for motorcycles. (http://www.motorkote.com/) I put it in everything! I haven't had any issues.

    Not sure if this would be good for a wet clutch system? I would look into it more if i were you.

    thats likely why the lucas display at the parts store is hand crank not motorized, good find Dave, I know I'll think twice about putting additives in to my vehicles

    lol when i was a little kid that thing was like crack to me... i would spend the whole time at napa geting that thing to spin... trying to get the normal oil to stick to the top gear.... you know, you can jsut put really thin oil in the first one, and thick i nthe next, and it will do the same thing, i think...

    Here is a statement from the Motor Kote site: https://motorkote.com/pages/hyper-lubricant

    "Wet Clutch Application (Including Motorcycles): Use no more than 1 oz per qt of oil. You do want some friction so adding too much Hyper Lubricant could make your wet clutch slip."

    Whie a small amount one time may be ok, I would be worried about buildup over time.
