My clutch is way too stiff, maybe I should drop some friction modifiers in haha
A roaring V4 is the summer soundtrack.

Hmm...
What I purchased was Silkolene Comp 4 10W-30 ( synthetic ester based ).
Think I shall try returning it to be on the safe side.

Re: Engine Oil in my RVF - i think i have cocked up
On the topic of friction reducing 'super' lubricants, molybdenum disulphide appears to be safe, Haynes makes regular reference to areas in the engine that can use a coating ie. crank bearing surfaces, cams etc. The real nasty in terms of clutch performance is PTFE and associated compounds.
