I found "Liqui Moly Racing Bike-Oil Additiv." The problem I was trying to mitigate is cam galling and I wasn't excited about installing extra lubrication to the head. This motor spends the vast majority of its time running between 7,000 and 9,000 RPM. Worse, it is behind a large cowling/body of a road racing sidecar where cooling is always an issue as well.
I added some this past weekend before the first practice. We had 3 practice sessions and 2 races, all in 90F+ temperatures and the motor ran fine. No clutch slippage at all. In fact, the motor seemed to run cooler too - not sure if that was coincidence or if it can be attributed to the Liqui Moly.
I pulled an oil sample at the end of the last race. Will ship that off to Blackstone tomorrow.
btw, took second place F2 for the weekend after the #1 bike spun out and flipped.
