Just remember, regular MMO is not a stabilizer, but Marvel Ultra is.

Sea Foam won't hurt your Spyder. Personally, I am not convinced that it will help anything, either. I know some guys that will add a capful or two to every tank. Not sure what that's supposed to 'cure'. It has been promoted for off-season storage. I tried it for a couple of years, then went back to Sta-Bil. Any of my 4-stroke machines that get seasonal use get stored with a double dose of Sta-Bil before storage. No problems when it's time to fire them up again.

.

My understanding is that SeaFoam is for cleaning out carburetors and other gunked-up fuel delivery systems. Sta-Bil is for preventing or resisting the absorption of water vapor by the fuel in a stored tank. That is how I use them both anyway. So, all my ICE machines that are stored for a season get the Sta-Bil. I use SeaFoam in carbureted engines like my snow thrower and old Yamaha V-Star when they're hard to start or run rough after storage.

I've used Techron in my motorcycles in the past with good results, but not in my 20 RTL yet. Not sure it's a good idea, but I might give it a try one of these days.

They have one just for small engines.

does anyone use Fuel Additive in their Spyder ??? I use Sea Foam in most everything I drive and Ride.... but just wondering if its safe in a Spyder ?? as in it not good for the Fuel Pump or Fuel Injectors any Ideas ???

Sea Foam is GREAT STUFF.
I use it in my Spyder, but just during the 3 winter months as a fuel stabilizer when I don't ride often.
I don't use it during the spring, summer or fall.
I had a battery problem this spring, but I've never had a fuel problem with any motorcycle since 1974.

As always, my free advice comes with a 100% money back guarantee.

This thread was started last year, so I'm sure you've read similar comments already.
I think it's time to post the following:

How many forum posters does it take to change a light bulb?

all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

Hi, new here. Took delivery on a 2022 RT Limited last week. I live in New England so asked my dealer about winter storage. He told me they have seen good success with Startron by Star Brite? Also, I am a bit confused, should I be using an additive all the time? I looked around and there are no gas stations around me that don't use ethanol, at least that I could find. Thanks for the advice.

:agree: For winter storage!!! Since the ethanol, I put it in my gas can before I fill it up, and I put it in everything around the house all season!!

I also use StarTron ..... they claim it lengthens the shelf life of the gas and chemically changes / combines with the Ethyl, to alter it into something neutral ( or something like that :dontknow: ) ..... Mike :thumbup:..... PS, I use about 10 drops in every tank of gas , then three times that for winter ( w / non-ethyl gas ) ....
