what do you plan on doing with this.....

it works by spraying your carbs down with it (i.e taking your carbs apart)

I bought a CBR 600 F2 one month ago and had absolutely no idea how to take apart and clean it. But honestly, a look into the owners manual helped me out a lot. I'd suggest you get a Clymer's repair manual for a CBR F2 or a OEM service Manual from Honda. There's also a video on YouTube on how to clean and take off carbs from an F2 which helped me out tons

But back to what JesseAwesome said earlier, Seafoam will not work if you don't actually take apart your carbs and clean them. Seafoam can only do so much. It's supposed to be used routinely every once in a while to clean out gunk. And that spray everyone is talking about is called carburetor cleaner, you can pick it up as any automotive parts store.
