Put some Seafoam in... like once every ten tanks.

 

user of startron as well!

 

+1 on Seafoam whenever I know the bike will be sitting a while and periodically for maintenance.

It cleared up some tuning irregularities on a previous bike I had, and I've been using it since.

 

Been using Chevron Techron for a couple of decades now on my FI engines.

 

I run injector cleaner every so often. There are probably enough detergents in the fuel to keep them clean but it makes me feel better.

 

We sell it via distributors (Drag, Western Power, Romaha, etc) so you can get it at bike shops that buy from these firms. It's also available at many auto parts retailers, big box outdoor stores and most boat stores. The original version (most often found in boat stores) treats 16 gallons per ounce - made to treat a lot of gas; the powersports version treats 6 gallons per ounce - to treat a tank of fuel at a time - and is available in 1 oz and 8 oz bottles.

The enzyme blend stabilizes fuel, increases fuel combustibility and breaks apart debris in fuel and in carbs or injectors. We have a huge book of tests and letters from engine builders as well as a tall stack of ASTM tests on our product and the others - Come on by the office and you can see it.

If you want a sample, let me know. I've got no problem with it being compared to any other product out there, and especially the ones that "make water burn" or make it magically disappear. Yeah, right, sure they do (dump enough alcohol into water and it emulsifies, but it's most definitely still there and will now lead to carbon deposits).

Enzymes are not new to fuel refiners, but have not been freely available to consumers. They are used in diesel fuel to improve combustibility and to stabilize fuel chemistry. Gasoline and diesel come from the same dead dinosaur and are hydrocarbons, so what works on one will work on the other. Ethanol is alcohol and as such does not produce as many BTUs as gas does, which is why E10 delivers less hp and fuel economy. By making the gas portion more efficient, you can get back some power and MPG.

We've done the same tests you see on youtube, but we got very different results. We hope consumers will do the tests themselves too in order to separate the bs from the real deal. We stand behind what we make and we use what we make in our own toys. We WILL be bringing a buttload of the blue stuff with us when we do our Baja ride in a few months.

Use what makes you happy. If that is no additive, so be it. If it is the competition, that's all good, too. All we ask is that you ride safe and enjoy the bike.

 

What does "increase combustibility" mean? On the face, it sounds like it lowers octane.

 

Thanks to all for your answers. I think I will try starbrite, techron.

Chevron Techron is tops that's why I buy just Chevron gas if at all possible

 

"Increased combustibility" means the fuel burns more completely. Octane boosters are typically a metal catalyst like MMT. 100% different technology from what the enzymes do.
