Have YOU done any research or have any proof of what you are doing has any effect? I don't use any treatment and mine runs fine. How's that for anecdotal evidence.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I use stabil marine in every small engine I have.... 2 atvs, 2 mowers, generator and wood splitter. I have been using it exclusively for 5 years and have yet to have any problems, clogged jets or filters or just plain bad gas that won't burn. I never have had to drain the tanks or carbs or take the carbs off to clean since using it in my gasoline. Try that with ethanol gas that's untreated and see what happens.
That's my research and all the proof I need.

If you burn through your tanks pretty regularly, no you shouldn't need to use any. But during storage or if you don't ride a lot and the fuel sits. It will benefit to use the stabilizer. I could care less whether anyone uses it or not. I'm just stating my preferences and my experience using it and not using it.
Just don't bash people for using it regardless of your opinion. They have their reason to use it.

I've had an elephant repeller in my house for 70 years.
No elephants ever.
Conclusive proof that the device works.

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........:bowdown:

I want to get one for my Mother-In -Law's Birthday. :roflblack:

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. :riding: Ride Safe. Ride Often My Friends. And thanks for all the comments. It helps a lot.

If you've got a "Squeaky Snake": use snake oil... :thumbup: 
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.

Read the paragraph at the bottom of the About Us page; nothing more than a site that makes money from companies that want to advertise on their site.
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?
