Sea Foam use?

[chmorro]

Read the threads on Sea Foam.. Was wondering how much should I use in a tank of gas. Also Lord Brad, after cleaning the butterfly valves with the Sea Foam and tooth brush, would you recommend the STP carb/intake cleaner spray would be fine? Would it be okay just to scrub the buttefly valves and wipe them clean with a cloth, or do I have to spray the STP carb. cleaner straight into the throttle body. Reason I'm asking is I've got V&H's on the bike with the baffles removed and I don't want to annoy my neighbors while my bike is screaming. Also, for those that have used Sea Foam, is the difference that noticeable once you've poured some in the gas tank? FYI, I've got about 44K on my bike.

They recommend 1 oz per gallon but a rich mixture won't hurt. I think I used 1/2 bottle for a full tank and I think its a 16oz can. It will definitly be loud when you spray out the throttle bodies. I did mine in my gargage sunday morning at 9:30 am. If my neighbors weren't already up they were at 9:30! I have stock exaust and I would say between taking the right side cover off and having the intake SCREAMING and the bike in the garage echoing it was about 10 times louder than normal. It was so loud when I came inside my two year was hiding under the kitchen table crying. This is the same kid who loved going to the race track! If you have V&H with baffles removed you probably annoy the neighbors everytime you start your bike anyway. Like my friend always says "If its too loud you're too old" I didn't notice a tremendous difference but I only have about 5000 miles on my bike. It seemed like it ran really good on that 1tank though.

STP carb cleaner should be sprayed while the throttle is wide open. No need to take a cloth to the valves. You want that cleaner flying down the intake manifold and hitting the intake valves at a good velocity. You want as much cleaning affect as possible and that's the way to do it.

I guess I have no choice but to wake up the whole state of VA. when I clean my bike I told my wife I'm going to have to ride the bike into one of the remote coldasacs and perform the work there.

if you haven't cleaned it in 44,000 miles you will be amazed!!!!!!

Ok, so the Sea Foam is in the tank but you still need to clean the other parts as well (?)/

I can tell when i have seafoam in my bike. She just seems to run better and smother every time i use it.

My bike also runs better when I add it to the fuel, the first time I used it I got about 20 miles to the tank increase in mileage. I also use it in the crankcase oil about once a season to keep the engine clean. I am now a great fan of this product.

Thanks BD, Wow is all I can say, what a difference now. I had to turn my idle screw back almost a full turn. Runs SOOOOO much better

Always a pleasure to help Scoot. Three times a year should suffice.

BD, I did the same treatment today and also had to set the idle back. What a difference! Ran like it was strapped to a rocket!

Yea, it works pretty amazing. When you think about it, gas is a natural solvent and when you spill it on your dirty hands it cleans them. Don't know why then the FI gets as dirty as it does but you definitely can tell after using sea foam.
