very very late seeing this, it says on bottle, up to 10% in wet clutch motors.
I use about 50cc in CB360 which is well less than 10%.
Clutch is slipping slightly, but, it was slipping slightly before I added it (need's some modification for 378cc motor)

Why do you want to run Lucas?

ZDDP

It it really needed in these? Besides race motors?

Yep, they were designed when levels were around 1800ppm, now they are around 1200ppm.
Take a look at vintage muscle cars and see how flat tappets get on with modern oils

You can also run this stuff: http://www.royalpurple.com/breakin-oil-rh.html

It has all the zinc and phosphorus missing from modern oils.

How is it with wet clutches?

Supposed to be good, a lot of the people there ride bikes (not just HD or modern bikes either) plus, the ' R.P. dealers' us it.
usually at least double the mileage between changes

I think I'll have to try that.

You have to get the motorcycle version

So, there is a particular version for bikes? Is it still called break-in oil?
