Says on can "stays in place without slinging... solvent carrier dries quickly leaving a tacky coating excellent for high temperature. Will make a long nozzle and lub through starter opening, the trick is not to drip on clutch. I will post the results. Might save a tranny removal. Hoping to get one more week of riding before I store for the winter. Thanks for all the good info on this site.

Slowgo...what brand of product. That is a good idea.

I agree with some of the responses on here about failures being over blown and over talked about. You don`t get to hear from the other 100,000 bmw motorcycle owners that are happy and that have not failed.
