So I recently decided to buy a blown up f350 with the 6.0 diesel and reading up on them lots of people having interesting results with oil additive "friction modifiers" like archoil AR9100. I've never been a big snake oil guy but the results on the diesels leads me to believe there's something to it. Does anyone use this product on their bikes? I'm wondering if it might help my sticky shifting issues and maybe smooth out the injection a little, r if nothing else just protect the engine a little. I'm definitely trying on my diesel so I guess I'll save an ounce for the husky and try it.
Archoil products, anyone using?

I've not used their gear products...but over the last couple of years..I've been using their fuel products in my customers high-dollar boats... best fuel product I've used... normal pump gas, stays fresh over the whole winter with no worries... and seems to burn better when running.
They seem to be a reputable company to me. I wouldn't put them into the "snake oil" category, but again...I've not used their gear-oil products.

Using any oil with friction modifiers in it in bikes with wet clutches is generally not a good idea.
X2! If your bike has separate engine/transmission oil then you could try it in the engine, but keep it away from the clutch.
With the risk being clutch slipping? I'm desperate to find a solution to my sticky shifting trans in the husky and I'm willing to risk slippage at this point. Or at least try it.
