clarkrcdc Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 I started using MK early last year when I hit 40,000 miles on the '99 RSV. I put in 4 - 5 oz. every 3rd oil change. I use a good 20W50 synthetic oil and a good filter (usually Mobile 1). I have experienced no clutch issues at all, and the engine purrs like it's new and the whine (chirp) is all but gone. So yes, I'm a fan. However, if I do start to experience any problems with the clutch, I would likely discontinue using MK as a troubleshooting measure to see if that may be part of the issue. How noisey (chirp) before you started using MK--Scale 1-10...Mine chirps like chipmunks on steriods, I do have the _I basket installed and there was no change. That was 3yrs. ago...

That was 3yrs. ago... I'd say it was about a 6 on the drive-me-nuts meter, and now it's about a 3-4.

That was 3yrs. ago... I'm not so sure MK made that much of a difference; however, swapping out the clutch basket did. On the scale of 1-10, 10 being it's so bad I'm getting rid of the scoot ... mine was at an 8 before the I-basket and now is around a 3 or 4. In other words, it ain't totally gone but I can live with it.
Seaking Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Isn't that what loud pipes and blaring stereo tunes are for? Drowning out the whine? hehe
rlyons Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Isn't that what loud pipes and blaring stereo tunes are for? Drowning out the whine? hehe Works for me.
SilvrT Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Isn't that what loud pipes and blaring stereo tunes are for? Drowning out the whine? hehe The truth to that fictitious mis-belief is .... I just recently installed a set of Khromewerks mufflers that I got off another member who'd had them for several years and repacked once. These muffs are louder than the drilled out RK's but have a much nicer "tone" IMO .... I can still hear the whine ... (and she ain't even on the bike!!!)
