Hi Skat,

That is in line with the standard procedure you use when you want to use Sea Foam to dissolve heavy carbon deposits.

See Dj12midnit's write-up on the first page of this thread. I see no reason why toddlamp8's method would not work on our bikes. Note that you'd have to set the petcock to PRI when performing this procedure.

FWIW, I've thrown a little seafoam (per the manufacturer's instructions) in my MC's and my wife's MC every few tanks/months or so. No problems with any of them running/starting. Mine could also be explained by running everyday, but her's does sit sometimes for a week (sometimes until I get out and ride it). Her's was a bit cold blooded when we first got it (used) but now seems to start as well as any cold or hot.

+1 on what Bill67 said about stabil, it has some of the same stuff, but is really made for keeping gas from going "stale" while seafoam is supposed to clean things up.

FWIW....

Seafoam also works as a fuel stabilizer. Wink
