I always thought it was BS but never had a need to try it. If you are still talking about SeaFoam then you are incorrect. We have always recommended that folks add SeaFoam to their oil when they need to do a shock treatment, especially for SVS symptoms. Once you have gone through a tank of gas then it best to change it out as the oil becomes contaminated. If you have found that it also improves the clutch plates then so much better .... two birds with one stone so to speak. Doc If/when my clutch ever start slipping, and cable adjustments don't fix it, I'm going to try the SeaFoam treatment for 100 miles or so and then change the oil. I think it's a good idea.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #264441 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2862 Re:Clutch slip cure. 7 Years, 11 Months ago   Well Doc, I am Certainly incorrect then, I never looked into SVS cure as mine was plugged so solid from leaking intake, I had to have the motor rebuilt under the warranty. So I had no idea. But had someone said it was a cure for a slipping clutch, I would have put it in last year. Now someone mention it. Few people tried it and no one locked up their motors. I'm still sorry I mentioned it. I will use it every oil change though.   Logged     If you aren\'t running on the edge...You\'re taking up too much room!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #264442 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2729 Re:Clutch slip cure. 7 Years, 11 Months ago   MS1700 wrote: With nothing to lose, I was going to buy a clutch anyways, I tried and it worked.

I also have a hypercharger installed. Whenever Im in 4th or 5th and Give the throttle a good twist such as in a passing situation It have seems to be clutch slippage (engine RPMs increases but acceleration is not what it should be) The bike has 12500 miles on it. MY main question which seafoam product did You use and also have you had any problems. Thanks   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266160 99R*Rider (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 359 Re:Clutch slip cure. 7 Years, 11 Months ago   Well Since I have clutch slippage since opening up the intake and re-jetting the carb, I tried the seafoam in the oil. it improved a bit but still slips. 17,000+ miles on a 99 R* Silverado. I have run about 150 miles on the seafoam. Oil change tomorrow to AmsOil 20/50 and maby a Barnett Spring Plate upgrade is in order.   Logged     1999 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #266175 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2862 Re:Clutch slip cure. 7 Years, 11 Months ago   Roadstarnewbie2009 wrote: Well Since I have clutch slippage since opening up the intake and re-jetting the carb, I tried the seafoam in the oil. it improved a bit but still slips. 17,000+ miles on a 99 R* Silverado.

Drats, yea, my experience was a quick fix, I noticed in like, blocks, 150 miles should of done it, not to say that new oil might not help more. I put crap Shell dino knockoff oil (of proper spec) in thinking I was just going to do a flush. It's doing so well, I'm leaving it in the whole 3K miles. If it does this well when it gets hot out, (It's very quiet now) I would really consider the Shell game! (Pun) BTW I have 35K miles @ least 75% of that 2 up and 25% of that like fully loaded. So 17K miles and slipping clutch is way too soon. My dealer has a better clutch plate (I think a Warrior one or something like that) he said a lot of guys put on a Road* and it's like $80   Logged     If you aren\'t running on the edge...You\'re taking up too much room!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #266232 The Gardener (User) OCR Gold Boarder Posts: 654 Re:Clutch slip cure. 7 Years, 11 Months ago   Lone*Road* wrote: This whole discussion screams at the very least........
