Oil additives - any thoughts on using Lucas oil stabilizer in my 81 XS11, crankcase, middle and final.

.. the clutches might not like it and the starter clutches need friction too

i wouldnt do it but some people have had good luck with it but i am just staying with the motorcycle oil to be on the safe side since i am replacing the clutch and want it to last

Just my own experience, but I used Slick 50 in my 81 XS, and it got me through another summer. Phoned head office in Toronto to find out if it would affect my clutch, and they said no, it just adheres to metal. Admittedly, I should have rebuilt the poor thing, (motor) but as usual time and money were in short supply. There are probably many adverse reasons for not using additives, but heck, I rode for the whole summer and dang the consequences!

lucas

according to lucas with wet clutch applications use only a 10% ratio of lucas to your motor oil. most testimonial about lucas in bikes come from the harley industry which have seperate systems.

the lucas product is awesome. the regular additive will do wonders for a car/truck engine or tranny and the fuel additive is the bomb. i would rate it every bit as good as the revered sea foam.

and plus they just bought the naming rights to our new stadium here in indianapolis to play home of the colts.
