raction fluid additive combination that is usable with any traction fluids base stock is provided. To optimize the traction, low temperature viscosity and shear stability performance, a combination of a polyisobutene and a polymethacrylate may be added to a base oil to obtain a traction fluid with good low temperature viscosity without degrading the shear strength properties of the fluid. To minimize foaming of the traction fluid, a combination of one, two, or more anti-foaming agents may be added to the fluid in addition to a standard additive package.

The present disclosure relates to lubricating compositions and, in particular, lubricating compositions suitable for motorcycle applications including select metal dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates to achieve low copper corrosion, good TBN retention, and good sulfur retention applicable to motorcycle engines and transmissions.
