Slick 50 oil additive

(1/3) > >>

Athame57:
Does anyone have an opinion on the oil additive slick50? Back in the 1980s I used it in my RG500 and my 1988 Suzuki GS450 which gave 50,000 trouble free despatch riding.  ;D  It was however a bike from new and it had a full service record, so nothing to really compare it with even if I wanted to, except a 1982 CB250N Super Scream that fell to bits in less than a year of despatch, but without a good service record.  ::)
Your thoughts on this magical potion anyone?  :)

Bryanj:
I know lister put some in an industrial diesel for a day or so then drained all the oil out and ran it till it siezed, about 20 hours if memory correct BUT i have my doubts with wet clutches

I think twenty hours without oil is a very long time. Why the doubts with wet clutches though?

Bryanj:
Anything that makes things super slippy, like slick 50 claims, could get into the fiber of the plates and make it slip, similar to car synthetic with "friction modifiers"

Seabeowner:
I have a unopened one of these (250ml) and a bit in another bottle, but have no memory what I used it in.
