There are oil additives that can cause Wet-Clutch slip but Molybdenum Disulphide is not one of them.

Even top engine oil makers add a small amount to their oils now.


HTH
might not adhere to the friction plates but it will to the disc plates.

i very much doubt that motorcycle oil makers add moly to their oil. zddp yes but not molly. with all motorcycles now having a catalytic converter the motorcycle oil makers are being forced to reduce and eventually remove the zddp from their oils and are using nano technology instead. its not a good time to go buying new formula oils for motorcycles till they have been fully tested, guess who the testers are.. its the punter e.g. us.
