Default Additive to Fuel

I was wanting to know if there is something I can add to the gas to clean out everything internally? I know for cars you can use seafoam stuff, but don't know if it is okay with older sportbikes like the 929.

If there is anything other than paying a mechanic to take it apart a clean it up? It's only got 24.5K, but I don't know what previous work has been done or how it has been taken care of or not.

Thanks in advance!

I've been a fan of the Sea Foam, since I found out about it. It won't substitute for
a serious carb cleaning/over-hual, if needed. However, it is an excellent maintenance
item and can produce results if the carbs aren't totally gelled/clogged.

Berryman's B-12 is also good, but Seafoam to me works better. I know if you put too much B-12 in your tank it can mess up your plugs/injectors, had a friend do that one(or at least thinks that was the cause).

Thanks so much for all the replies... I think that Seafoam will be the route I will take I am currently TDY in Vegas for 3 weeks in the Air Force, but once I get back I will try it out and let you guys know how it works.
Thanks

if the tank is rusty flush it and have it coated other wise just flush the tank out and run some fresh chevron 91 in it dont pay anybody to take it apart its really easey to get the tank off ect.. just get a work shop manual . 2 bolts for the seat 3 bolts for the tank 2 8mm bolts and one 12mm bolt then the fuel lines on the pump and injector rail
