Fuel additives
My bike sat for several months before I bought it. It was running a bit rough, but is getting better the more I ride it and once I put fresh gas in...my question is: Is it okay to put a fuel additive, like a carb cleaner or something in?

Mine did the same thing when I first got it. I just ran the p#ss out of it. Buy premium without ethanol if you can find it. If you have to decrease riding due to the weather use Seafoam or something like it to keep gas fresh.

Gas and oil additive. Auto Zone sells it around here. Has a lot of fans. I added a can to a car with over 100,000 miles on it and was impressed with how well it smoothed out the performance. If I use an additive that's it.
