my bike has about 30000 on the engine. I run lucas in my truck and it does wonders but not sure if it will screw up my clutch. So is lucas bad for a steetbike engine or should i run it?

how does it run with 30,000 on it? id say if it runs fine, then don't **** with it.

some people say they've run full synthetic or additives and it didn't **** their clutch up, but i personally run nothing but the recommended oil. i think the current standard is sg\sf.

*Tanus*

nags said it was good so I ran it in mine and it blew the motor in 10 seconds, so Im taking nags to court!


j/k seems to work good and definatly made it tick a little less loudly.

seafoam is good too

Towlieee

I've heard mixed reviews about it.. I've heard it can cause oil to foam up making lubrication worse since theres bubbles in the oil...
I've also heard people say it throws off your oils mix.. Your adding one type of thing to your oil (lucas) without balancing it with the other chemicals..

But IDK.. Personally I don't waste my time with it. Although I bet it is good for cold start ups, or when your bike loses oil pressure...



Ya I always hear the same thing, from lots of people who swear by the fact that "fully synthetic that is energy conserving makes your clutch slip"
Yet my last 3 oil changes have been on super tech synthetic that is energy conserving, on my 34k mile clutch lol

I can't tell if your being sarcastic or being real?

I personally think seafoam is great, good stuff to clean out your vacum system and fuel system
Although PERSONALLY I don't trust it in my oil.. But I do knwo people who have ran it in their oil for 50 miles.. I've also heard stories of peoples rod bearings going out when they put it in.. SO I personally ONLY use it on vaccum and gas


btw my friend even ran seafoam through his 480 WHEELE horse power elclipse.. he swears by it!

just get good oil.Motul 300V Full Synthetic Motor Oil is the best,double easter.it's like 50-60$ at dealer for a big 4 liter jug.and looks like coolant works amazing though.

lee majors

$60? isn't that..umm..a lot

Artiom

yeah but u pay 35-40 for regular oil normaly.extra 20$ to get the good **** is not so bad.I run it in all my bikes.definately noticed difference.and if some shop hooks u up than even better.

We all run it in our bikes down here.. No problems

I personally run 3qts of Motul 5100 and a quart of Lucas

Put it in, I have an old school motorcycle I put it in and it did wonders. What can screw up the clutch are the oils/additives that have friction modifiers in them (they have a little green gear on the bottle). Lucas has done nothing but good to anything I put it in.

Lucas is da ****, we put it in all our bikes up here and no problems so far

BIG BOZE

I ride a 97 CBR 900RR with a bunch of miles on it. Spent alot of time at the parking lot. Been running 3 quarts synthetic and 1 quart Lucas since i bought it and is still running strong. No problems.

nags

I use Seafoam in my truck but what are you doing with it in the bike?
