I never tried choking a woman to get her warmed up. Does it really work?

The cleaner made a huge difference, I forgot how much power the bike was supossed to have. I still do have a little bit of a backfire on deceleration

Any of the three mentioned will work fine. Ringfree is a Yamaha product @ 18.00 bucks , Seafoam and Marvels mystery oil are auto parts store products for about 5-8 bucks , and do the same job. BB

Thanks, BB! I am familiar with the Seafoam and MMO. I have some of the Seafoam additive but not in spray. Is the Ringfree any better or worse than the Seafoam? Anybody got any opinions (and we all know about opinions )

Re:Sputtering and backfiring. 4 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Thanks guys! I'm gonna give this a try. I'm not sure on the main because the stealership jetted it but I think I'm running too rich. My pipes are black inside and at speed, when I get on it, it cuts out and sputters for a second before picking up.
