    Does mos2 really makes he engine smoother even with high quality synthetic engine oil ?

    I am using shell long ride 10w50 fully synthetic and is pretty smooth in highways.

    Are these oil additives just a placebo or really does they make a difference ?

      MOS2 does seemt to make a difference, albeit very noticeably. The reason MOS2 is widely used on an used engine oil is primarily because when an engine oil is subject to severe heat cycles, the additives in them become depleted. What MoS2 does is basically refill that lost additive package in addition to already being an excellent engine wear additive. So there you have it. Too much of moly is quite harmful than what it actually prescribes to do. Always use the recommended dosage and worth a try as experiences vary from being to being.

      Good luck.

      Cheers!

      Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
      The girl said, 'NO!'


      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


      THE END

        Hi VJ, yes this is so true, after completeing 2500 kms with Shell Advance Long Ride 10w50, the oil was smooth but not as good as new. Added 40 ML of MOS2 and after 50 kms, i can really feel that the engine is free revving and pretty smooth than the usuall state of the oil. I think its a good time ~2500 kms to add the additives rather than adding it during oil change.

          Looks like ktm is promoting gen3 390 by providing 10k off on exchange

          My bike has run 40k kms, its been 5 years and they are offering 1.6L exchange value plus 10k discount on gen3 390 and I have to pay 2L along with discount to get new one .

          Is it a good deal ?

            No.
            The new 390 is still in test phase and it would take at least 1 year for them the sort out the issues.
            You'll get a better price for your bike if you sell it outside.
            Ride safe. It's always the other person's mistake.
