I've twice been over the North Yorkshire Moors on a couple of different routes and they put the bike well under heavy load test with some very steep inclines in the places I go and the engine power and torque have been faultless. Also went up to,"Lord Stones" cafe last week and again some of the roads will test any Motorcycle https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/...2!4d-1.1933174 In fact this SV is just a great big EFFing Joy to ride

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. |

Re: Slipping Clutch
Years of use and no clutch slip with Moly.

Re: Slipping Clutch
yes but you more than likely understand its uses and dont use too much. other readers might see this and think hey that sounds good, nip down to their local halfords and buy a can of molyslip and dump it in the engine then wonder why their clutch slips like a hot knife through butter.
to be safe and sure dont use additives in your oil unless you know exactly how they work and how much to use. motorcycle engine oils contain all the additive packages you could want for use in a wet clutch, gearbox combined engine. the secret is changing the oil at the recommended intervals and keeping it topped up between them. only oil additive i would recommend that people use is a flush every 3rd-4th oil change just to stop the gumming in the piston rings which is the major cause of cylinder wear. |

Re: Slipping Clutch
I have ruined an engine using an engine,"Oil Flush".I will NEVER use or recommend one again.RedX is an UCL(Upper Cylinder Lubricant) and keeps the rings from,"Gumming up" and carbon build up down so defeats the need for any oil-flushing in my experience and if an engine is in that bad a state it needs stripping and correctly servicing.
My 2 cents.

I will never use an,"Oil Flushing" agent again in any motor.I will and have however used cheap engine oil and quick repeat changes to clean out engines.This was much safer and worked. YMMV

Re: Slipping Clutch
You can't beat frequent - even early - oil change (period). I'll never use any friction modifier in a wet clutch motor. My '78 Bonnie with a MAP Cycle dry clutch? Yep, it's in there.
That video was only about 50% accurate IMHO. 10K? Grabby? Noise regs? Yeah, right. I call B.S. |

Many thanks @ R1ffR4ff, I would never have risked putting it in if not for your input.

Re: Slipping Clutch
QUOTE=SV650rules;3072484]I added 50ml of Molyslip to my AL7 over a week ago and it has since been tested on some of Shropshires finest hills - no problem.
Many thanks @ R1ffR4ff, I would never have risked putting it in if not for your input.[/QUOTE] I've now done over 1500 miles on my SV over a 1,000 of them with some moly on the engine.Molybdenum disulphide is not a friction modifier.It just uses the oil as a transport mechanism without affecting the oil. There's some very heavy industry that uses it in conditions that far exceed those in our engines This is just one example of info on it, https://vacaero.com/information-reso...m-service.html I'm going to buy some of that dry spray version you have mentioned and try it on my chain instead of the Moly/Oil mix I'm using
