I'm not certain, but I'd be concerned with the moly particles clogging the oil filter pores.

I don't recommend it at all for engines.
The sight glass issue is important, especially on Oilheads. I did it on my K75 and regretted it.
There also is some question which I recall related to temperature and the moly - present in engines (hot) and not in transmissions and final drives.
I swear by the stuff for gears and final drives and do not use it in engines.

I'm with Paul on that one.
I added Locking Differential Friction Modifier Additive (from NAPA) to the tranny on my 94 R1100RS and it seems to shift slightly better than with just the full synthetic gear lube I normally run in the tranny. No problems in over 20,000 mile of riding since adding the additive.
Also, the 96 spec tranny in my 94 R1100RS has about 60,000 miles on it with no problems (other than the usual crappy shifting of that vintage BMW). The bike now has over 125,000 miles on it.
