Re: Sea Foam
we cannot get this stuff over here but have found an awesome alternative - Fortron - oil and fuel treatment.
we were unsure as they were hyping it up something rotton at the the dealer ship. Mates bike was suffering really bad with water in the oil and rough running (ZRX1100). this stuff sorted it, it now runs better than ever |

Re: Sea Foam
I've use Seafoam and MM oil (depending on what I have at that time) in all of my vehicles (Ram truck w/Hemi, Lexuses, Acura) , boat (SeaRay Cruiser) lawnmower and snow thrower with good result, haven't use it on my Bike(19K+miles) yet but will be using it(soon) before put it to sleep over the winter.

Re: Sea Foam
you use it in BOTH oil and in gas tank?
and you put your bike to sleep? just kidding... although cold where I am, I still try to ride in the winter... (not in snow or ice, but after the grit is off the road). I will prob use in my dodge too, but it is diesel, with 300K miles on it (and injectors could use a cleaning)! If it works as well as I have heard, then I will put it in ALL my vehicles.... and buy it a case at a time!!! |

Re: Sea Foam
good product using it once in awhile may help can not hurt but not really needed all of time with todays fuels.
As for adding it to engine oil no way nothing should ever be add to the oil. Or gear lube. If the oil need additives then your using the wrong oil Unless your driveing an old chev with sticking lifters then you use MMO. |

Other wise a 1000 miles or so should do. And by all means if the bike is going to sit add some befor you park it run it thought system gass just sitting inthe tank is with out a stabliizer is not good. And if bike is going to sit have tank almost full . |

Re: Sea Foam
To answer the "how long it sits", It will be 1 month old tomorrow. I was out of town for 2 1/2 weeks AFTER I got it. 900 miles in 1 1/2 wks---Doesn't sit long.
02 Dodge minivan (4 cyl) gets 16-18 mpg here in Greensboro, Bike gets 40+---it was bought as my daily driver and has increased it's duties to weekend errands also. 1K miles sounds good to me. Now I just have to find it. What stores will I find it in, since I've never heard of it or seen it before? Thanks, Tracy |

Re: Sea Foam
Ace used to carry it, but I can't find it anymore...
go Sea Foam--Buy Sea Foam products there for list of stores (mostly auto parts, like AAP and Pep Boys. Top ( I mean Smitty...LOL)...you really think it should not be put into the crank? I understand it is a lube, and will clean carbon... so I don't see why it would be a problem? I DO plan on using it in my Diesel... heck you can add just about anything to diesel FUEL and it will burn... I accidently put 3 gallons of kerosene (of 35 gallon tank) in mine... and then filled the rest w/ diesel. It smoked a little, but then it actually had a lil more pick-up and go! |
