Sorry I'm not much of a believer in additives. If they were really that good the oil manufacturers would have come out with something by now. The additive market is a pretty big market for someone like Quaker State to not want to jump in.

The 8oz. bottle sells for something like $25. A lot of guys out here swear by it due to riding in tight woods where overheating can occur. Also, guys with the Rekluse love it too... I just wanted the opinions of those I actually trust!

OFG, did you notice any difference?

Ha ! The first time your old big butt (like me !) rides a bike with one you'll be such a fan. DougAlso, guys with the Rekluse love it too...

I agree. Especially when one of their additives is called "Snake Oil".

I am already a fan... a fan that just wrote a fat check for suspension! These things take time... and money!!

I saw that!
I did some work with that one company that had engines that ran while frozen in a chunk of ice. If those goons are anything like the rest of em, I'm done. Although I am interested in the independent test those guys do. Pretty interesting, might have to test it myself.

I ran it in my DRZ. Me and a buddy had almost identical bikes. Same gearing, pipes, jetting, etc... I am much heavier than him. When I first tried it, I was skeptical. We went riding one very hot humid day, we made several 5 mile loops at a local woods area. When we stopped for water I immediately felt my clutch cover, then went over and felt Donnies clutch cover. His was MUCH hotter than mine. He was not running the twocool product. It was not scientific but I could tell the difference. My DRZ did not overheat and my CRF has not overheated yet. I ride mostly ill. woods. I know one thing for sure, I have seen no negative side effects from it. OFG

If I am mistaken, I thought our manuals said not to use any additives in our engine oil?

Best additive if changed on a regular basis.
