Default seafoam question

oh yeah! i finally got her running. so now i got a question about seafoam and cleansing her. what are the procedures for using seafoam on a motorcycle? i understand the part about adding it to the gas, but i am confused about how to use it to clean out the oil lines. so can someone offer their expertise and include photos? sorry if those questions sound stupid. just need some help. thanks in advance.

also, has anyone found any other uses for seafoam besides the oil and gas things?

I've been advised to not use it in the oil lines (i.e. crankcase) since the F4i uses a wet clutch, and seafoam is definitely thinner and more slippery than 10w40. and it can remain and cause slippage even when the oil is changed.

I am only guessing about this but synthetic oil tends to remove deposits, I would assume that if you switch to synth you won't have any problems with clogged oil lines. If for some reason they are clogged, I would think they have to be removed and flushed, but I never heard of that before.
