I'd say no for the same reason you already mentioned, you're not susposed to add friction modifiers to the oil. I'd just use it in your car.

Personally, I wouldn't use it. Your bike has a wet clutch which can be quickly ruined if the wrong lubricants are used in the crankcase.

If you're concerned about engine protection, switch over to a high quality synthetic motorcycle oil.

I agree! To sum it all up any additive that has any type of friction modifiers will ruin your clutch, and saying that watch out for some oils to. Some oils do have friction modifiers in them, some are less than others but if they have them dont use them any friction modidiers will mess up your clutch. Make shure whatever synthetic you use is wet clutch compatible.
