Well you understood my point, didn't you ??
Saying that your experience is just "anecdotal" evidence and is pretty much meaningless just by itself, probably would have upset you even more......but it IS true.
But you can go right on thinking that your experience represents the WHOLE WORLD and is the only truth that exists.
And keep calling anyone who doesn't agree with you nasty names.
Talk about a classy guy........

I understand our Spyders do not have carburetors
Techron has been used with success by many to keep injectors clean, as have Stabil, StarTRon, Biobor (marine diesel & aviation), and a few others. Claims made by the cheep ones are bogus.
Frequent riding virtually eliminates the need for our gas engines to need an additive. Algae builds in diesel fuel and additives can control that to a large degree.
Do we need to use an additive? Probably not, except for long term (more than 45 days) storage (and Stabil has a good record for that use.
It certainly wouldn't hurt to run it through a tank every few thousand miles though. Like Techron or Seafoam
Have used it in everything I own, with some good out comes, two and four stroke.

If
If I could find away to make the old spyder run on water that would be good. Then I could run some Dawn liquid soap through it and really clean the engine. Happy Trails to Us All. Ride Safe. Ride Often My Friends. And thanks for all the comments. It helps a lot.

I use stabilizer in all my fuel that sits in cans or the lawn mower or other small engines I use in the yard. Sometimes, if it gets dry, I do not have to mow the lawn for a month or more. Never have had a problem with the trimmer, mower or snowblower. Anything that sits get stabilizer in the fuel. I don't use additives very much otherwise. Occasionally will use Seafoam when the temp swings greatly, which can cause water in the fuel.
Being in Iowa, I have run hundreds of thousands of miles using ethanol fuel in cars and small trucks, with no issues. Only issues I have seen actual data on, are reduced fuel economy, and issues when the vehicle is left sitting for extended periods. But even non ethanol fuel can cause problems in vehicles that are stored for long periods. The ethanol industry tends to over hype the positives and those who are against ethanol seem to tend to do the same and emphasize the negatives. It is a good idea to check who is doing the research, before accepting the results. I read a research study that basically said there were zero reports of engine failure because of ethanol use. A bit of digging showed that the research was from a pro ethanol source.
Use what ever works for you, and take the time to get whatever info you can to help make your decision.

Many folks on this site agree that regardless of how one "feels" about a motor oil, the proof is in analysis of the product. The same should apply to fuel additives. I speak only of routine use of such products and not for use during winter layups which some of us don't have to contend with.

If it makes you feel better and gives you peace of mind as you ride, its worth the money, spend it, and use it.
Whether it actually helps anything can be argued for the rest of your life, but no one can ever say that any of them hurt anything.
So then if it gives you peace of mind, ask yourself, what is your peace of mind worth?
