Ever since I had my recent 5,000 mile service done the bike hasn't been running as smooth and buttery as it previously was. I re-entered the fuel map in my micro tuner and it improved it a bit but still wasn't 100%. Maybe the new plugs, tightening this and that, etc.....no idea.

After reading about it last night and how SO many people apparently swear by it, I decided to try Sea Foam. I have a 2.2 gallon tank so, I just poured in a little less than half the bottle. At start up it was sputtering a bit all through the 1 minute warm up while strapping on my helmet and gloves. Then after riding for about 10 minutes the bike just smoooooothed out. It was awesome. I thought hmmmm....maybe my imagination so I pulled into my Harley dealer for a bit then went for a cruise again. Same. Silky smooth just like before the tune up. I'm very happy and can only Highly recommend you try this out. I had 7,500 miles on my bike when I did this today. Maybe all that gunk built up and now got cleaned out.....Well, even if there are gremlins in that bottle I don't care.

 

Wow half a bottle! I thought the instructions say 2 ounces to a gallon or something like that. I use it occasionally.

 

1/2 of an 8 oz bottle would treat 2 gallons. 2 oz per gallon = 4 oz for two gallons.

 

I've never used the stuff...but I got a bad tank of gas a few fill-ups ago and it has been running a bit rough at idle. Gonna try the sea foam tomorrow.

 

Never heard of Sea Foam...is it available at AutoZone, places like that?

 

Id be surprised if it wasn't. I pick mine up at walmart

 

I've never seen it in an 8oz. Only 16. I use half a bottle (8oz) for a full 5gal tank for winter storage

 

Sea Foam is worth every penny. I use it in both bikes and my lawn tractor.

I have a buddy who let his bike sit for about 3 years. I swapped the battery out and tried to start it, sputtered and kicked out. Went to Auto zone grab some SF, poured in half the bottle, shock the bike so it mixed with the old gas, and then it started right up.

 

I use seafoam on all my vehicles and bikes, even the mower. Seafoam is great ****... ran half a can through my sportster as soon as I got it.

I usually seafoam every 6 months or so... i'd recommend it for sure.

 

Picked some up at Wal-mart this morning. If this threatening rain will go away, I'll get her on the street.
