But let me just say this, i know my bike the same as a person knows their own body, i'm not the kind of person to just get on the bike and wait for things to seize up or drop off then deal with it (the same as my body fortunately). Any unusual noise, squeak, etc, and i investigate it.
In the case of Activ8 i have noticed a big improvement in gear changing. I'm not dreaming it, if there was no difference at all which is what you're implying, then i would have been totally honest and said don't bother at all, it's a waste of money!
So, unless you've tried it, which you obviously haven't, then how can you comment on the product???
I've not only tried it, and had it in my engine for years, but found it effective enough to buy again, and when you do top it up after 4 oil changes it becomes very noticeable again.
If you don't want to buy it, fair enough, but at least test it first before giving negative comments! :moon
By the way, there are different ingredients in Slick50, i can't remember what exactly, but it's not the same stuff.
I reckon I will use only half of it over 4 oil changes or 25k miles which is about 2+ years riding for most. Wouldn't fancy putting the rest of the stuff that is lying around for 2 years old into my engine and expect it to perform 100%. You you dump the leftovers and buy a new bottle after 25k miles?
