I'm no expert when it comes to additives, but I would suggest you
take a look at an arctile that a friend of mine shared with me. He
got it out of the August 1992 edition of a magizine called Road
Rider. The article is titled "Snake Oil". Since reading it I don't
know that I would be too quick to use anything other than good ol'
oil in the engine (synthetic or mineral).
