Q: Is it safe for wet clutches (motorcycles/scooters)? A: No. Most manufacturers warn against friction modifiers in shared engine/transmission sumps (like Harley-Davidson or scooters). The friction reduction can cause clutch slippage. Use only in vehicles with separate transmission oil.

Q: Does it void my warranty? A: Technically, using any aftermarket additive could be grounds for a warranty claim denial if the additive is proven to cause damage. However, because the Xtm Miracle Thunder is oil-soluble, dealerships rarely detect it during a standard oil analysis unless specifically looking for boron spikes. When in doubt, use it after your warranty expires.
