Ethenol treatment or what ?

[Guest]

Everything is good with the bike after all your guys help. I bought lucas ethenol treatment , is there anything better

Probably a mixture of that and StarTron. StarTron is also a good ethanol treatment as well as one of the best maintenance cleaners and will stabilize gas for up to 2 years. Did you ever get your answer about tires?

I have been a Seafoam user for a long time, but I just came across some specs on the new STP version fuel treatment- it is supposed to blow away the Seafoam in all areas. Some gas stations are even using it in the fuel.
I plan on giving it a go.

Star Tron I'll try that next , after I burn 90 gallons worth of lucas fuel . I'm not to sure about sea foam , it's mostly alcohol , and it didn't adjust my valves like u guys said . Thanks for asking about the tires , was going to go with the shinko roadmaster 230, TKent said they were a little squirrelly , and a bit unstable . Going to try avon road riders . Thanks for all the help guys

I've had both, I don't know why he would think them squirrely if he rode them long enough to wear away the release compound, but he may ride at insane levels that I would never try.

Ride more. That's all that's needed.

He did say he only took a short shake down run , after he got it together. I'll ask him in a week or two.

To be fair, I always run the back tire one size larger. With the Shinko 230's I went up one size front and back. My bike handles curves like it is on rails, so I can't really say it handles better than the Avons with an equal setup, but it sure blows away the old Avons with a stock front tire and a over sized back tire. There is a break in time on the Shinko tires to scrub away the release compound, so I don't know if a short shake down run does them justice.

I rode on them 100 miles or so, all two up on the 1100G. Didn't mean to imply they were bad, they just tracked seams in the pavement a little more than the RoadRiders, and wiggled a bit on grooved pavement. Not bad, just noticeable. Seemed fine for the money. Never got a chance to ride hard to see how they handled on a twisty road, which is the only tire quality I really care about, so I can't really say how they did. The traction seemed good, but I didn't really push it at all. No idea on how they wear, or how they handle half worn out, didn't go there. Won't be riding on them any more for a while, I sold the bike.

I have another set on the 550/650, but it won't be riding for a while.
