The TV ad has me wondering..........if it "soaks" into metal then it will soak into gaskets and seals and then soak the floor under the bike???

Go to the web site and read , there are law suits that have challenged the claims that Z-Max does anything at all. I checked it out , I heard the ads not sure about the stuff.

I lost all respect I ever had for Carrol Shelby when he did those ads saying every new Shelby came with ZMax in it. You might as well stuff twenty dollar bills in the fireplace. Just use a good, premium, V-Twin Synthetic and change the oil and filter per the manual. You're engine will live to a ripe old age assuming you're not abusing it any other way like routinely lugging or overreving it.

Don't do it, this will be counter productive to the additive package that your oil already has. Certain chemicals should not be mixed this will result in seals and gaskets being broken down and causing a leak maybe possible engine damage, if you change your oil that often and use a good motorcycle oil you will have no worries.
