well, the gs500 is well known to knock, burn a bit of oil and such... I do my oil changes accordingly (a bit more often than my manual). I was wondering if Lucas Oil Stabilizer would do any good? can it go in a two cylinder bike? it says on the bottle good for any four cylinder car engines, motorcycle engines, truck engines. It almost looks like it says the bike needs to be four cylinders...
so, should it be something I try? is it worth it? will it be good/bad for my little gs500?
Number of cylinders will have no effect upon an oil stabilizer. Either the stabilizer works or it doesn't. Try it and give us a report.
Might be OK for summer, I had it and it caused my strater clutch to stick... OK OK 45K miles was enough for any damn thing to break on it, but I say Lucas stabiliser killed my starter clutch... That's my story and I am sticking to it. Not clutch people... that whole synthetic oil and clutch issue... OK starter clutch is not = clutch which in turn is not = clit.
Cool.

yeah.. asked on another board, and they said that it might do more harm than good since I have a wet clutch and that it might mess with it. I'll wait for more replies... dont really want to run something i'll have to change the oil 5 times to drain out of my system.
I never run anything but oil and never recommend anything but oil...unless it's a last gasp measure anyway :) .
