    Default Archoil AR9100 friction modifier

    I came across this product on the Jay Leno YouTube channel. It coats your internal engine parts and creates less friction. Is this something that would be beneficial in the 1330 wet clutch application?

    Less friction and wet clutch do NOT go together.

    I agree with Highwayman. I would be leery of putting any additives in motorcycle oil. The manufacturers say to use oils of a certain specification for a reason.

    Default As I see it...

    This would only work on the Ducati dry clutch bikes...Any machine using a clutch system running on the same oil as the motor can not have additives reducing friction simply because that is the whole purpose of the wet clutch. If you reduce it's friction you will no longer move and smoke the clutch. Stick with the recommended oils....fyi have not seen any spyder motors or gearboxes fail from excessive friction using oils meeting factory specs....

    The results could be an absolute disaster. And very expensive to fix.
