I use Seafoam every oil change. You aren't hurting anything.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

And people never use any type of cleaner and never have any problems ........I've had two Toyota engines with over 250,000 miles never had an issue with an injector.....my mechanic doesn't believe in Snake oils ......:dontknow:.......There are products that you can use if you take the injectors out ......Mike :thumbup:

If it doesn't hurt why not use it. Seems to me that as much as a lot of bikes sit, like during the winter, and fuel can turn to nasty varnish. Any chance you have to eliminate that will keep the injector clean and spraying correctly. Good idea, guess I'll start putting some in once in awhile.

Another vote for Seafoam. Every few months I'll open a can and divide it up between all the vehicles, including the Spyder. I always add some to the first tank of fuel when riding season begins too.

StarTron

I personally use Star Tron and have with all my bikes never a problem.

PS; my SPYD3R never sits long enough (7 days at most), so i'm not concerned with gas turning varnishee....

with all the fuel additives already in the gas why put more in the tank..:dontknow:

 

[JayBros]

If peer reviewed randomized controlled double blind trials were submitted by each manufacturer of the products showed use of the product resulted in statistically significant improved vehicle performance I might open my wallet. Otherwise I'm with Mike on this one.

With the 2011 - Used SeaFoam regularly...

Our Local gas has ethanol added to all octanes. In the 2011 - 998 engine we usually ran mid-octane, gas from various retail outlets. Now with the 2015's high octane needs, we usually buy the premium Shell or major outlet gas with their additive package. Also since we run at least a tank a week, we don't use the Sea Foam or StarTron or other additives in the bikes.

I Still have the can of SeaFoam and De-Ethanol additives for the other engines around the place and this Fall, we will add some before we slow down to the one tank a month phase. Your bike, Your conditions, your choice.

Injector cleaner does work.

Not snake oil. Years ago on an S10 v6 with throttle body injection, I could see the poor mist pattern with a timing light. We added Chevron injection cleaner, then check the pattern after 100 miles. It was a great mist with no droplets. My mechanic stated at the time the fuel cleaners were in premium fuel. I use Chevron injector cleaner around 20,000 miles on all my vechicles. Mechanics that do not know of injector cleaners, I would stay away from them!:yikes:

Years ago

Popular Mechanics magazine did a study on additives and modifications for engines and cars. In short, additives added nothing, and the only modifications worth its expense was a vacuum operated switch that cut out the air conditioner when going up hills (which of course we don't have), and an air foil mounted under the front bumper to prevent air turbulence underneath the vehicle (which we also don't have). Personally the only additives I have ever used that worked was 1/2 qt. of Rislone to free up a stuck lifter, and 1 qt. of Power Punch to get the old smoker to pass a smog test. Beyond that I have used a fuel stabilizer in engines I run seasonally, snow blower, wood splitter, lawnmower and so on. I run the engines long enough to fill the filter and carb or injectors, and they will start right up next season. So, Mikey is right. if you use a quality brand fuel it will have everything you need, and nothing you don't.
