Using additive in bikes damages the engine ?

I won a HERO HONDA HUNK. recently i have found the using additive (ad on) is giving me a gr8 mileage. . bt i want to make sure that does this harm my bike‘s engine ?

Answer:

additives in the oil of a bike engine that are designed t oreduce friction will reduce friction in your clutch as well making it slip
If its new I wouldnt, but you can as long as you use a good one and follow directions. Most of the time it wont damage an engine but any additives are never recommended by the manufacturer, I use them in my cars all the time and they run good
I don't recommend any additives be used in any bike. Stick to what's recommended in your owner's manual and you'll be fine. There's no such thing as a fix in a bottle anyway. If you have a problem with fuel economy, there's likely a reason and the problem needs to be fixed.
Keep it at 70-80°F and make sure you don't flip the egg.
