Default Lucas injector cleaner

Wondering if anyone has ever used Lucas injector cleaner fuel additive, and if it worked?

I should have searched first, turns out there is 2 pages of threads regarding injector cleaning additives. Gotta remember to search first. Sorry.

I personally don't run anything like that. It's mostly snake oil. But I do use Stabil gas stabilizer when I put it up for 3.5 months of winter storage.

Same here...Stabil is all I use for winter storage...besides, if you run premium fuels I believe they have a detergent in them that cleans the injectors and aids in the reduction of carbon build up.

Unless you have a ton of miles on your bike, I personally would not use an injector cleaner. My belief is that it will foul up the O2 sensors. Again, just my opinion, and no I have no proof of that, other than when I run that through my vehicle the 'check engine' light comes on until passes through the system. I don't want that on the bike.

I have used both Lucas and Seafoam in my 180,000 mile truck.
Seafoam seemed to help the most.
Haven't used in bike though

I use seafoam in my bike, my truck, my lawnmowers, my weedeater. Everything. It works as a stabilizer for storage too and it says right on the bottle that ist safe for O2 sensors. I use Marvel Mystery Oil in crankcases occasionally too or squirt it in cylinders and on valves that have set for long periods of time before turning them over.
