Ring Free 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Got a bottle of ring free today figured I would give her a shot of it while it is cold and I can't ride much. The directions were really criptic. Any one know just how much to use per tank full? I also want to give her a shot in the carb and let her sit for a few days. This is going to just a one time thing as I use SeaFoam or MMO most of the time.

Re:Ring Free 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
curt,

all i know is that when i took my bike to the dealer about the slight case of svs it had, he ran some thru and it runs great now. he gave me a bottle and said to run a small amount thru every other month or so. when you run too much of that stuff it affects the oil, so i would be very careful!! he must've only run enough thru mine to clean it up a bit, cause he didn't have to change the oil.

maybe someone else on here will know more specifically!!

Don't know that is why I asking. I figure it is like SeaFoam only a little stronger.

I found it really small print and my old eyes don't see well. 2oz per gallon = shock treatment 1oz per gallon = constant treatment. DAAAA!

Gee. 1 oz / gallon. I think I read that somewhere recently.

I'm with ya. Do they think they save money on ink making the damn lettering so small?

Seems like alot of instuctions are printed like that. By the time they put all the warnings on labels no room left for anything else.

Heck they don't even put any warning on it. Guess they hope you will blow it up so the can charge you tons to fix it. Sales guy walked up and asked what he could help me with I said nothing I already had one. He asked what and I told him an 05 R* he said the new ones have FI. I said yes that was how Yami fixed the SVS problem we have. BOY you should have seen his face! Told him I'll take my carb madel anyday.
