Why do you want to use it there?
I'm not currently a Seafoam user, but my uderstanding is that the product is designed to help with complications and by-products of combustion -- which are found in engine crankcases as well as fuel systems. While it's true that transmissions and primary cases do develop condensation contaminants, they are not generally related to combustion issues, and the characteristics of the original Seafoam product may have no benefit for those applications.Well so much for a decent response. Basically I read in posts over and over the folks singing the praises of the benefits of Seafoam. Many use the product in their engine oil and given that the oil in a Sportster primary/transmission is nothing more than motor oil, and the trans/primary has a tendency to get condensation in it, I felt that it was a legitimate question. Oh by the way, Seamfoam makes a product specifically for transmissions.
Who you talking about Willis . :fitzI'm not currently a Seafoam user, but my uderstanding is that the product is designed to help with complications and by-products of combustion -- which are found in engine crankcases as well as fuel systems.

There are other lubricants and additives that are designed to have specific benefit in trans and primary applications. If Seafoam has such a product, it seems to be a good company and maybe that product is something desirable to use in your bike.
Maybe there was confusion in the early part of your thread about which product you were asking about.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will come along shortly to affirm or dispute my opinion.
The guys like to have some fun along the way in this forum, so take things with a grain of salt.

It burns with the gas. There fore no more likely to wash down the cylinder walls then just straight gas.Seafoam is pale oil and naptha. Keep washing your cylinder walls down with it, then call your indy.
I always liked the cowbell in some songs. But only when played by some hot lil female.I need some more cowbell.

Made a slight correction for you.Seamfoam makes a product specifically for automatic transmissions.
No real value.I was just wondering about using Seafoam in the transmission/primary in a Sportster. Would it have any adverse effect on the clutch?
Thanks.
