Default Seafoam to clean fuel injectors?

Does Seafoam really perform well to clean fuel injectors ? I have a 2007 Sportster 1200. Or is there something better?

Welcome from Coastal Ga... Todays gas has so many additives that there is basically no reason to put in any after market cleaning agent. Unless extreme conditions, bike sat for years, you put in some crap grade of gas. This is not your Grandpa's gas that turns to varnish after a few months.

Welcome from Jacksonville, Florida! Unless you're having some trouble, they likely don't need it. Most all gasolines today have additives already in them. But if you want to, just double up on some Seafoam and run a tank through it.

Welcome to the forum from Tennessee. I use sea foam for winter storage only.

Welcome to the forum from ND. Seafoam will help, to a point. It depends on how bad they are now.

Hello from la. Seafoam is good but I like Berryman b12. I think Seafoam is also a stabilizer but not 100% on that
