As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Hey guys. 82' 850GZ. I am almost done with everything and will fire up the bike in the next week. I will get pics for you guys as I have pics from my bike before. Anyways, should I add a little sea foam to my tank after it is up and running and putting in gas for the first time? Or is Sea foam for when the engine and carbs need a cleaning? Thanks again.
 
Just my viewpoint, and ive seen suggested that some seafoam added to the case is helpfull, but assuming that you've done a full rebuild, and were pretty clean with it (ie not letting crap drop down in to the case) then i honestly dont see in advantage to it. Provided you've cleaned the carbs and what not, i would think, untill you break all those new parts in propperly, you'd want as much fresh, pure oil lubricating everything. Just my opinion as i said, some may feel differently.
 
No reason to use it if everything is already clean


make sure to break in the rings right though
 
The main purpose for seafoam is to strip carbon from inside the cylinder. If the engine has been rebuild and cleaned that there is no reason for seafoam.

I was thinking not to put any in. Thanks for the feedback guys. What do you have to do in order to break in the rings right???
 
Thanks tkent02. That article is exactly what I was looking for. I kept it just for a reminder for when I actually do start up my bike. Thanks again.
