Question:
(Skip to last two sentences if your not interested in Motorcycle type and reason for this question)
I recently purchased a 1982 Honda CB650SC (Nighthawk). It's a wet-clutch, so as I understand it the engine oil also works as lubrication for the transmission as well. This being an older bike, I figure some sludge and carbon has built up in the engine because most people dont perform maintenance like they should. I was going to add Marvel Mystery Oil to the engine oil once or twice to clean it out and then just go with full synthetic all the way. Sorry, but I am not interesting in opinions as to weither or not MMO will do anything at all. I am just wondering if a small amount of MMO (0.3 quarts MMO to 3 quarts of oil) will be safe in a wet-clutch motorcyle?

That's a question for the manufacturer of Marvel Mystery Oil!Aftermarket additives do more harm than good for the most part!

What are the specs? It's a 'craps shoot'. You'd be better of going straight to a syntec oil from the start. The only other advise would be a tear-down, and it's too late for that, unless you want to miss some early season rides.Where can I buy an atv or electric scooter in Bowling Green Ohio?
What your proposing will not do ay harm. You are effectively thinning out the oil. This is normally recommended for a newly rebuilt or a new engine but as far as causing any damage, I would think not. I would not leave that stuff in too long.How many scooters and motor cycles are there in rome?
Most of the information that I have seen says NOT to use additives such as DuraLube. Reason being, even though it is a wet clutch, it needs some friction to lock it up. Super slippery oils may cause some slippage problems.I would think that the same applies to MMO.

Drain the old oil and start using synthetic.

i would not use it in the engine its doubtful there is any sludge in the motor with the oils today. change the oil and filter there are detergents in new oil. if ifs black in a few days of the change then you know you have some sort of a problem as far as carbon marvel wont do a thing the only places you will have carbon build up is on the top of the pistons and the back of the valves and marvel wont get there from the crankcase oilI am looking for a new bike pls tell me what will be a better choice than a pulsar 150?
hondas r awesome bikes i have had at least 12 hondas (dirtbikes)they were all great bikes and very reliable and i own a honda cbr 954rr street bike and it is a great bike. you will probably not have any problems even if it does have a little sludge it is kind of normal if it has some miles on it. just change the oil like your suppose to good oil isnt real cheap but it is reasonable go to a honda dealer and get the good stuff and the marvel isnt going to help it is more for air tools but any oil works in air tools and a jap bike will basically run on any motor oilWhere is the cheapest place to buy Crotch Rocket Fairings?
Mystery oil in that amount won't hurt. It won't help much, either. As another poster noted, The inside is usually pretty clean. Just fill with fresh oil, add MMO if you want, run it for a bit, and drain. If you've got a lot of stuff in the oil, you need mechanical repair. If not, re-fill and ride. I don't think you'll see much of a benefit from synthetic oil.Don't put it in your oil. No additives. Some I know, and myself, use the MMO in the gas. About two caps per tank once in a while, lubs the upper cylinder
Can anybody help me chose my first motorcycle??
like was already said it might help it might not but the most damage that should come would be a slipping clutch that would benifit from a replacement any way it will help clean out sludge (so would a little kerosene) its fasterMore Questions & Answers ...
