There's only one problem with Seafoam (at least with cars). If you have a pretty old and high mileage motor, there's a good chance that carbon has built up around the valve seats and it's literally holding your engine together. If you put Seafoam in it, it may take away the buildup and require a head rebuild.

 

Just a foot note....Seafoam is great stuff.....BUT

DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR OIL. Your bike needs the lube. Dump it in the gas and call it a day.

 

Ok so i got the bike back from the dealership today. At first it was doing the same thing. Then After some fresh gas it seemed to calm down and will hold an idle at about 1100 when cold.(not stalling out anymore). I put the two bros exhaust back on.. and ran some sea foam for about ten minutes. I got alot of backfiring or exhaust pop. Not loud just a whoosh noise. I am going to let it sit tonight and then I will take it and run it tomorrow. any new ideas would be greatful. If it still does it tomorrow I will look into the FPR.

Sorry man have to go ahead and disagree on the high mileage motor
observation .....have several high mileage (140k +) applications where the
valve seats have not been adversely affected,or motors required a top end
rebuild .........but I do agree .....not a great idea to add to lube .....in higher
mileage motors unless for a very short run to clear out sludge build up

 

I wouldnt put seafoam in the crankcase, especially if it is a high mileage motor. It will break up sludge, and te sludge will be pulled in through you oil pickup and could clog it up cause lack of oil pressure! not kool but it works WONDERS on fuel systems
