slow boat is an understatement. I was afraid it would take so long I opted to get an oem chain. As soon as I had the new one in the superchains showed up.

.....When I did add the seafoam I was meticulous with my syringe application of about 30 CCs in an ounce.
2 oz in the tank and a little less than 3 in the oil......
Oopers!
I don't think it is a good idea to put Sea Foam into the crankcase. Our bikes have wet clutches.
JMHO!

I think I have only put on 30 miles since I put seafoam in.
How bad you think that oopsie was?
Ordered a Cam chain tensioner from Verslagen a few days ago.
I figure I gotta drain the oil to swap out parts, will do oil change too.
I suppose I should get a chain too...any good deals out there...links, other members...?

Well, I don't really know.
That's why, if it were me, I'd get that oil out of there ASAP. There is a not insignificant chance that you could lose a clutch pack.
JMHO!

I don't see the issue, it was said that it contains light oil, naphtha and isopropyl, what's harmful to clutches?

I'm not certain that it contains ONLY those three things. I'm also not certain that the naphtha and the alcohol are completely benign in this application.
I'm
also
not certain that the gunk loosened by the Sea Foam in the crankcase is not harmful to the clutch pack.
Erring to the side of caution, I'd say that the potential benefits of using Sea Foam in the crankcase do not outweigh the potential problems.
If you're worried about gunk in the crankcase, I think it is much more prudent to run JASO MA rated Rotella in there for a few hundred miles, then flush and fill with your oil of choice.
JMHO.

I'm a little more certain cause I cleaned gunk out of there with seafoam and a toothbrush, side cases and top cover off. flushed with dino Rot twice. with a half hour on both changes.
