Oh, in that case, have at.

I didn't use a vac tube when I cleaned my carbs. I just poured some Seafoam into a little spray bottle and squirted it directly in with the engine running while I had my air box off the clean the filter. I was careful to squirt just enough that it would bog a little for a few passes so I could get a feel for how much it would take to kill the engine, then upped the sprays until the engine died. 15 minutes later, everything went as it should.


Might wanna ride it around a little afterward just to clean everything out before storage.

This is awesome. Thanks dude. Where did you squirt it in? (sorry if its a dumb question)

Also, isn't F4i fuel injected?

I really doubt that. even if they do, it will probably cost just as much as the big can.

It is.

With the air filter removed, you can see right down the throttle bodies. You don't need to take the whole air box off, just the top and then remove the filter. I squirted it directly into the throttle bodies.

I pourd half in the tank and half in the crankcase. Rode maybe 100 miles or so then changed the oil. It was black.
