Subconscious point of view asked:
i see in my manual for a crf250 that i can use this oil on the engine side but not the tranny. i see on the internet its molybdenum sulphide which supposedly reducing friction on moving parts. i take it the concern is with slipping gears in the tranny then. and would this be a good choice for my engine oil

Great choice for engine, but not very good for tranny since you need the friction from the clutch. I would imagined would good for Harley Davidsons with separate engine and tranny and BMW with dry clutches…

the concern is for your wet clutch, which will prob burn out from slippage if you put it in the gearbox. m/cycle wet clutches do not like super lubricity lubrication.

no. but i have heard that if you put ground up aluminum foil in the oil it is very good for something….i forget what tho.
hope that helps, and please vote for me.

From an ad for it Like they said OK for 4 stroke engines with seperate trans fluid
Friction Fighter CAN NOT be used in 2 stroke (mixed oil and gas) engines, or any power train that has a WET CLUTCH

Yes you are right on the money. Run Molly in the crankcase but never in the transmission.
