Ive got a friend that puts it in his pickup all the time and swears by it.. I guess it cant hurt I might make it a 3 times a season deal or maybe even just 2.. I wouldnt by any means over do it .

I've been using Amsoil PI (performance improver) for the last two years. I was impressed with it when I began to use it in my cage years ago, so I thought I would give it a try in my scooter. Amsoil recommends using the treatment every 4,000 miles.

Seafoam when I put the bike away for the winter. Cleans everything up and as a stabilizer it works far better than Sta-bil.

Necessary...No
I do run some through the tank just before I change the oil though. I'm not loyal to any particular brand. I've used Techron, Sea Foam, and Berrymans at times. I don't think I would use it at every fill-up though. Can't see a need for that.

I don't think so. More important is having all three holes filled with a good synthetic, not syn 3. The other move is a stage one upgrade that will allow the engine to breath and keep cooler.
You have a fuel filter in the gas tank , change 25,000 mi., that will keep out any unwanted particles out. Plus, high octane gas is pretty clean and does have cleaners added.

I like the Lucas products. I usually have the Lucas fuel injection cleaner around and put a little in the tank every couple of thousand miles. I have a 2006 RKC with 11K miles. Dont know if it helps, but makes me feel good. My bike runs well with out a miss and I've been using the stuff since new. Who knows.
