Default Fuel Injection Cleaners

I add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to my car's gasoline every time I change the car's oil. Is there any reason not to do the same with my bike (2011 Electra Glide Ultra Classic)? Thanks! RLJ50

Well, fwiw I add Sea Foam to my gas tank every winter before storage and 2002 Fatboy starts up and runs great every year.

1oz. of Seafoam to every 5/6 gal. of gas about every 5th tankful will work just fine.
