I came across this twice now, and thought I would share it. Here is the official Seafoam response:
[email protected] ([email protected]) Subject: Sea Foam Sea Foam is a 100% pure blended petroleum oil product, NO CHEMICALS. That is just FYI! Sea Foam should be used in the fuel in your motorcycle, to clean carbon, add lubrication to the fuel, clean the fuel system, dry moisture and stabilize your fuel for up to 2 years. That would be at one ounce per gallon of fuel. Now, here's your answer/technical education for today: Sea Foam is also widely recommended for engine oil crankcases for cleaning oil residues and drying moisture as a pre service cleaner, after service additive or problem solver for oil residue related problems. ALL ENGINES! If your wet clutch and engine oil share fluids, then Sea Foam Motor Treatment # SF-16 is EXCELLENT for that system. Partly because residue causes problems, but mainly because there may be excessive moisture in a shared system like that. Moisture is the #1 thing that will deteriorate a "water based adhesive" clutch. That would be a clutch material with a water base glue as it's "Binding" material, similar to what is used in all automatic transmissions, where an oil based adhesive would dissolve in the oil or fluid. ANY system that uses a "WET" clutch, the clutch material itself is made with and adheres to the steel components using water based adhesives, plus sometimes rivets. Like "SUPER ELMER'S GLUE", but, of course, BETTER QUALITY! Some wet clutch systems use hydraulic oils/ATF's, in which case Sea Foam TRANS TUNE would be recommended, it is for hydraulic oils, and all the above apply. Hope this helps!
