Just wondering if anyone knows any additives to put in gas tank to clean fuel system or clean carbs. Does it work? (I know you can put additives in the gas tank of cars what about cycles)

Sea Foam has been my usual gas cleaner to run in first tankful after winter storage. Gunk makes a carb cleaner also- I’ve used it a couple times cars and cycles. Standard oil/Chevron makes a fuel injector/carb cleaner also- Techtron?? Couple riders have used it, seems to clean- they use their Standard oil credit cards to buy it at Standard stations, not sure if it is available other stores.
yes just use smaller quantities however the best thing you can do is use a good grade of gasoline, elcheapo companies, commonly buy bid gas, this is gas contaminated with tiny bits of crap and water, they measure it in ppb or parts per billion. Good companies like chevron and costco have preordered gas with the additives they want in it. the refineries know what the good gas stations want already, so some other elcheapo company comes along and bids on the contaminated gas, its gas it runs in Your vehicle, but over time will plug up the fuel injection, system, and leaves hard deposits, that are difficult to remove later. It is far easier, to keep your fuel system clean from the beginning, than to try to clean out the hard deposits later. I run chevron super unleaded with techron, this helps keep fuel systems clean and running good, If you have been running elcheapo gas for a while, and your car or bike develops idle and stumbling problems at low speed I recommend that you run a tank of chevron super unleaded, and take a nice long relaxing drive until the tank is empty, then fill if up again. In a lot of cases, this will clean out the fuel system which makes the car run better, sometimes the gunk clogs up the fuel filter which has to be replaced, but over the long haul, a good clean quality gasoline will keep your ride running better. hope this helps
sea foam is the best cleaner on the market….use 1 half a can per tankful until gone…

Sea Foam is a great product. Mechanic at my local Honda dealer recommends Techron by Chevron.
