After reading on the forum that people were putting an ounce or two of two stroke oil, a little ATF, a splash of motor oil, a sprinkling of Seafoam, eye of newt, toad lips, and whatever else in there tank at every fill up, I started visualizing hiring a truck driver to follow me around with all the additives I'd need. Instead, I went to the local chainsaw shop and bought a six-pack of 3oz bottles of two stroke oil (the ones you pour in a gallon of gas for the perfect 50:1 mix.) They'll actually hold about 4 oz, I think. Now, I can mix up whatever cocktail I like before I leave home. The bottles are very small and easily carried in a ziplock that I throw in the bag on my back seat.

I just pull up to the pump, empty a bottle into the tank, and add gas. No mixing and measuring and fooling around while traffic backs up behind me.

for anyone having trouble with countersteering-

instead of "push left, go left" just begin leaning into the turn and use your arms to keep you on the bike. e.g as you go into a left turn, you'll lean left and your arm will naturally pull on the right side of the bar (the same as pushing left)

Everybody countersteers, whether they realize it or not.
Try this; Going down the road let's say 50mph.
With your left hand OFF the bar pull VERY lightly on the right (throttle) end, (turning the wheel to the right). Quess what, Yes you're starting a left turn and left lean.
To upright the bike you are PUSHING on the right while PULLING on the left, mostly without realizing.
This countersteering is done agressively in road or dirt racing to make the bike change directions quickly.
This technique can be learned and properly applied will greatly aid in dodging foreign objects on the road including cars. Cheesy

Now, there might actual be benefits to the eye of newt, but with regard to all the rest of that stuff, don't believe it just because people write it. The only additive that you really need in your gas is Stabil when it's time for winter storage.

All the rest of that stuff just increases the cost of your fuel.

When installing a motorcycle battery, cut 2 -1/2" pieces of battery overflow hose and put each under the battery post nuts. When you install the bolts they will now reach the nuts and as you tighten the bolts down the tubing will compress.

Refilling the weed eater gas tank.
I took an old laundry detergent bottle with the Push Button dispenser & cleaned it well. Loaded it with gas, knowing its NOT meant for that & gas swells & could burst one, so I leave the lid cracked enough to vent.
I keep it sitting so that if the valve should give up, leak, whatever, its on top, with the lid/vent, so no worries & its not in the house. Its in a storage building, away from everything, BUT, when I am running the weedeater, I put it out where I can get to it easy. Unscrew the lid on the tank, poke it under the nozzle & hit the button, 3-4 seconds & Whoa.. No spills to wipe up.
