I have Seafoam in my tank now Just about 4 oz's and I think the bike runs worse then without it. I mean it don't run bad, but I sure don't think it's helping.

Charge your battery and put fresh fuel in and see what happens.


Its not made to make your engine run better, its just a cleaner. Just like when you spray carb cleaner down the carb/s when the engine is going it bogs down. Seafoam does the same thing. Its a lot lower combustable than gas.

no i was gradually pouringabout 5 ounces in but my bike cut off because it ran out of gas and i just poured the rest in which was about 2 ounces. Butmy battery was very close to dead so im wondering if that might becontributing to the problem

Theres your answer. It isnt going to combust on its own, and not its saturated in there and isnt going to dilute enough to fire up.

Put some gas in it and it'll probably fire right up...
