Hi,

Some Honda motorcycles used to chew out cams very rapidly in the 80's.

At the time Honda insisted that you shouldn't use any additive in their bikes... despite the fact that the cams were a warranty issue and obviously had a problem.

Later on Honda bought out their own oil additive... and suddenly it was OK to add an additive to your bike. Their additive worked... but nobody else's did?

Companies will always run behind the technology and often won't respond until a problem forces them to do so.

If you have a problem or you wish to avoid one it doesn't hurt to investigate the options?

:-)
