Which first and how often?

[Guest]

Greetings to all of the GS gurus,

I've been reading a lot about Marvel's Mystery Oil and Seafoam additives. For periodic maintenance, which should I use first and what would be the schedule? I read somewhere "every third tank" but that seems a bit much. Or are they necessary only if you are experiencing a problem? Thanks so much for your time.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I bought the seafoam spray called DEEP CREEP and sprayed it into the fuel line when it had no gas in it of course and it did wonders for my bike.I wouldnt use the marvel mystery oil in the gas either,just use the sea foam liquid in the bottle.I used about 3 ounces in the gas every fill up for 3 tanks and my bike has ran smooth ever since.I really think the deep creep spray in the fuel line worked best.Just my opinion though.

On the GoldWing board that I visit often, many of the riders swear by MMO at the ratio of 3 to 4 'glugs' which would be 2 to 3 ounces, I think, about every other tank. I tried it for a while and did not notice any difference, either in my Kawasaki Voyager or my Wing.

If parts are a bit dirty or gummed up, I can see where it might help, but I ride too much for them to get gummed up.

Which first? The concensus on the Wing board is to use MMO first. It that does not work, Techron injector cleaner, if that does not work, SeaFoam. My personal philosophy is to save money and just use the good stuff...SeaFoam. I will add half a can to my bike, the other half in my wife's 850 before we do an all-day ride in the spring. That will clean things out for the rest of the riding season for us, no regular doses are necessary.

LOL! :-D

Mr. rustybronco,

*Everybody* on this forum is a GS guru compared to me. I appreciate your opinion and thank all the others who took the time to share their experience. Having just picked up this bike two months ago, I have a lot to learn.

Thank you for your indulgence,

I mix half a can of it into a tank in the spring and run it through, usually after i finish the tank with the stabil in it. BUT your bike will smoke a little with the seafoam in it, and EVERYONE you ride with will tell you your guides are shot. The bike will stop smoking after the next full tank without seafoam in it.
