Just be careful how much you put in. Remember a motorcycle gas tank is a lot smaller than a car gas tank. Had a buddy put a bunch in the tank of his kids Ruckus scooter and had to pull the carb and clean as well as drain and refill the tank with fresh gas. Ran like a dream after that. Just don't use too much. It is not like wine, if one glass is good for you two must be better right.

About once a year. I put about 1/4 can in the tank when I put the bike away for the winter. Similar ratio (about half what it says on the can) for lawn mower and similar engines.

I used it in my f150 Lightning last week and it does an excellent job of cleaning intake items. Ran it through all vac lines and intake. Cranked truck up and all kinds of junk blew out of the exhaust for first mile or so. Would just take it easy on amount put into Motorcycle gas tank.
Yep...some great stuff
Maybe you should consider it. It works wonders keepin the internals clean. I used to use it in my GSX-R years ago and I could tell a difference everytime I used it.
As far as using it every fill up, don't think that's a good idea. I think using too much will foul your plugs.

We have been using it on our 4 - wheelers for years. We live on the gulf coast and most of our bikes are set up for deep water riding. Sometimes the water ends up in our motors after a little to much liquid courage. We add a little after the first fresh oil change and it really helps displace the moisture. Have even added it on the trail and drove out after a light milking and dryed the oil up pretty quick.
Granted this is not on a Harley traveling 70 mph down the road, but.....
I was hooked on the stuff (when it was $4.00 a can before everyone discovered it)
I once bought a 99 chevy one ton that was throwing codes, running rough etc....(bought it really cheap because of poor running) I ran a can into the intake through the brake booster vaccum line. Added a second can to the gas. Let it sit for about an hour and then drove it home (about 300 miles). By the time I got it home it was running like new. Reset the codes and drove it for 2 years with no other problems.
I run it in my Harley about every 4 or 5th tank to keep everything clean.
So the moral of the story is I love the stuff and always have a can in my tool box.
