Like chicken soup.............it can't hurt.

Thats how I look at it. I put a cap full in every now and then. Usually around fluid changes, start and end of the season.

I've been known to through a little (cap or two full) mystery oil in with a full tank of gas every now and then.

Again, its just an old school habit that makes me feel like I'm doing something.

I don't think it hurts anything.

Remember most containers of injector cleaner have enough to treat several tank fulls on a bike. I run a little Sea foam through once mid season and when Winter approaches.

I agree. Why? Find a gas station in your area that has 10% ethanol and burn a tank of that a couple times a year.

Consumer Reports recommends the Chevron Techron as tops in class, that's good enough for me once each year in every vehicle from the Costco 6-pack...

I go out of my way to fill up at Chevron. Once in a while I put some Amsoil PI in it too. Never had any problems

I have used Amsoil's PI and any other cleaner that's on sale, but I usually wait for Techron to go on sale...never heard a bad thing about it--just good.
Yes, gas, especially premium has cleaners in it, but what if you happen to fill up when the stations tanks are low or just after a tanker has filled the tanks and all that sediment is stirred up.
i do what some others have said and treat a tankfull 2 or 3 times a year.
