I have heard of people putting some Seafoam in the oil and riding it a while and it cleans the sight window like new. Have you ever done this or know someone that has? Is there anything to be worried about as far clutch friction discs are concerned???

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
I've never used Seafoam, but.......I have used automatic transmission fluid. The inside of a transmission has to be really clean for it to work properly, so tranny fluid has a lot of detergent in it.
I usually add about a half pint of transmission fluid and ride the bike for 15-20 minutes before an oil change. No issues yet!Ron

Ive been googling since i posted and according to Seafoams info its safe. They say add 1 ounce per quart of oil 200 miles before oil change to clean and flush gunk away. I need it on the newly finished Ninja project. Rather do this than crack open the cover just to clean the window.
I will report back with results.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
