Seafoam

[drev500]

Anyone use it on their Buell? Assuming you use a vacuum line that is directly in the intake after the filter, anyone run it through a vacuum line? What about in the gas? Just curious.

I have liked the stuff and I wouldn't mind giving it a try on the Buell.

i havnt tried it though the vacum line, but i have used it for winter storage. had no issues in spring when i fired her up.

i tried it on my drz through the vacumm line but would bog out...and having that stuff stop the motor i heard is bad..(correct me if im wrong) but i have ran it through the gas on my xb12r and it was fine like chief said..no probs...

Poured in gas is only way I would use it.

I use it in my gas tank every 3rd or 4th tank full , love the stuff.

I put a little in with 93 octane gas after winter storage. Never had any issues with it.

I never had a problem not using it. Instead of spending $12 on a bottle of magic Seafoam stuff, I spent it on 6 bottles of Lagunitas[cool]

FYI Store your bike with a tank of 90 Non-ethanol. It's a pain to get blah, blah, blah but It's still cheaper than Seafoam, and saves a trip to Vatozone. The additional light hydrocarbon chains in "super" evaporate much faster so it's pointless to store it, and we all know what ethanol does[down]

I love it also. I run it through the tank occasionally and use it for storage. Great stuff.

Been using seafoam in all my vehicles, Buell included, for years. No issues.

Usually put it in with the gas a few times a year, including winter storage. And I've added a few ounces to the oil in my Jeep about 100 miles before an oil change.

I've done the seafoam thing through the brake booster on all my cars/trucks. Never had an issue. I suck up about 1/3 of the can while the idle stumbles, then submerge the hose and kill the engine. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes while I put half of what's left in the gas and half in the oil. Take it for a spin (haul ass and leave a smoke trail) and change the oil and filter after 50-100 miles.

I've done this on ever 4-wheel vehicle I've owned. Always getting excellent mileage and never once had a bad experience.

On carb'd bikes I just put it in the fuel. On EFI bikes, I put it in the fuel and then spray some from a spray bottle into the throttle body. I don't bother doing the oil of the bikes.

...once a year...
