All major quality motor oils have all the additves you will ever need, and I watched a friend ruin an engine by using one of the additives mentioned in the article. I also found it interesting in that it was written from the perspective of a motorcycle industry. In my Yamaha Virago literature it specifically warns against ANY oil additives, even so goes so far as to recommend against synthetics, because of the wet clutch needing a certain amount of friction to function properly. I guess a lot of bikes have a dry clutch?
