Default Injector cleaner?

Anyone use injector cleaner in their bike? Have not done so since new. No problems yet, but you never know. If you do use it, how often and what kind? Thanks in advance!
Info greatly appreciated!

I'll run some seafoam through the tank about every other month or so. Don't know if it really helps, but it certainly doesn't hurt anything. About half a can per tank. put it in before I fill up.

I use Chevron Techron once every couple of months. Just a couple of capfuls. Star tron helps with ethanol, if your having issues with old gas.

Another Sea Foam user here. Every few tanks I add a a few ounces. This stuff just plain works!!!! I could give a dozen examples, but I wont bore anyone with details. I also use on my Snowmobiles, boats, riding mowers, power washers, snow blower, weed wacker, chain saw, etc etc etc.

Once a season if I remember (or actually get out and ride) I will pour some Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank. The Stabil we use for the Winter also has some cleaners in it.

+1 yes these threads are almost "cult like" compared to the oil threads. However, no other FI cleaner has more OEM endorsements than Redline. Outstanding product.
