Are they ok to use in bikes?

The Honda is burning oil now and I was tempted to get some of the wynns stop leak stuff to try and help rejuvinate the seals.

Good Or bad idea?

I vote for bad idea. If they are designed to stop oil leak then what oil line inside the engine does it block.

I cant remember the name but there was a product that you stuck down the plug holes and run the motor and it sealed the grooves on worn cylinders. I have use it on an old car but never a bike.

I'd say bad as well.

I've used it before on the Mrs car and it did nothing.

That was piston seal made by holts, in my experience none of the so called stop leak remedys ever worked for me

Castrol GTX high mileage does the trick and is ok for wet clutches.
