473ml can of Seafoam treats 30-90L gas, you figure.
I mix 1/4 can Seafoam to a full tank of gas.

I'm really debating on whether to buy a jack for the bike or not. would you guys say it's a must. i'm planning on riding the bike up and down the block at least 2 or 3 times a month during the winter.

Fuel stabilizer,trickle charger and cover. I've done this with mine over the years and it's plenty no need to go nuts. Now concentrate on number 3!

thx for all the posts! I understand that the urge of going out to the garage and starting it up once a month is a very bad habit. Is that true?

Winters are just too damn long!

Cheers!

yes ,do not start it unless you can go 10 to 15 miles on it, this is not always the case in warmer weather but in the winter it is
also DO NOT forget to put a rag over (not in ) the the spark plug holes after putting oil in and b/4 you crank, as some will shoot out on the compression stroke
