#189255 tommyt (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 503 Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Been using Seafoam periodically to keep my fuel system clean, with no problems. My question is.... will other fuel system additives such as STP do the same thing? tt   Logged     tommyt.....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #189257 fastjohnny (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1038 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I'm no expert on the subject by any means, but I have used Yamaha Ring Free from time to time as well as Sea Foam. I'm sure those in the know will chime in soon.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #189261 Marshall (User) cuzz there's no such thing as a "factory custom" Junior Boarder Posts: 170 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Honestly, I've never even heard of seafoam before I started messin around here. I couldn't tell you about it. I have used a few ounces of Berrymans B12 Chemtool after having my bike in storage for about a month. I've used it in other things and it works well. I've always been picky about what gas I'll run also, so I've not really needed to run a cleaner often.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #189268 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1260 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I'm a SeaFoam user, but have also heard lots of great things about MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil). Search the forum for info.. :-DD.   Logged     2001 HD Road King Classic   The administrator has disabled public write access. #189273 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I began using MMO with no ill effects and switched to Seafoam because I have an 04 and is suseptable to the dreaded SVS. Had SVS once and used Curts SVS Cure to fix it... with an overdose of Seafoam. I now use it regularly.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #189276 Rayjay (User) Friends make life enjoyable. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1347 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I recently had some vibrations return (from SVS?) and hit the carb good with Seafoam Deep Creep spray, cleaned out the air filter and had dramatic improvement.   Logged     Ray   The administrator has disabled public write access. #189279 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Good stuff... if it can do that, it has my vote to use as an additive.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #189314 bangngearz (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 412 Re:Fuel additives 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I use MMO cuz this forum suggested it.

I don't use any kind of treatment on a regular basis. In the spring, however, I do use some carb cleaner, or water if I run out. I find that it's not uncommon for my bike to run on the front when I first start it up in the spring so .... I warm it up, spray some carb cleaner through the throat and let it sit for a while. Start it up and it blows a bit of black. Do it a couple of more times and it runs like a top. It seems the occasional startups over the winter and spring are enough to carbon things up (probably the plugs). Why use carb cleaner ... only because it comes in a spray can and my other favorite (MMO) comes in a bottle.

Would you put a certain amount in the gas tank? I also thought that someone said that and to give it a good run and then change the oil. Is changing the oil because any carbon or what ever particles would maybe contanimate the oil a bit and would just be a cautionary measure. Then again, if its in liquid form could you just put it in a spray bottle and spray some into the cab?
