I see your point Bryan. I don't remember ever having a clutch slip on either bike though.  :-\

K2-K6:
I'd not put it near a clutch either, containing PTFE & Molybdenum as I understood it and not suitable.

Its definitely slippery as I've experience of it in manual transmission car gearboxes that causes the synchro "clutches" to slip and make the gearchange absolutely shite  :)

The synchro design calls for friction to be generated in cone type clutches, usually of phosphor bronze and steel interfaces, these to spin up the gears about to be engaged ..... then making the gears all crunchy, very crunchy  :)

I’ve used it in my engines and didn’t have any problems with the clutch. In fact the same clutch went for over 200000 miles so it must not have any effect or maybe it’s beneficial.

Did you say two million miles? It's your clutch I'm interested in now!  ;D

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Two million in the UK  has 6 noughts.
Unless I need specs Kens figure is 200,000 miles.
