So if i buy the gas Seafoam stuff would it be safe to put in my bike gas/oil along with my car gas/oil stuffs to clean everthing up(assuming smaller ammounts for the motorcycle)? It looks like some pretty neat stuff cuz it cleans pretty much everything out. If so, i might just buy a keg or something of it and use it every 2k miles, what it recommends .

 

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but stay away fromoil additives in your bike. The transmission, clutch and engine use the same oil, might cause clutch slipage or other problems.

 

There was a big discussion on this a while back. I use it in my car, however, have never attempted or wanted to put it in my bike. A car and bike are two different things. I wouldnt recommend it in a bike, but I use it every oil change in my car. Works wondering in there!

 

I have no experience with it on my bike and never will....BUT i used it on my turbo civic (when i had it)and it worked pretty damn good......smoked A LOT for a good 15 min. (supposeto)then it cleared up ....Ended up taking the motor apart a few monthslaterto build it up and it was Amazingly clean in there....I used 1/3 of the bottle in the gas 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 through the vacc. lines (make sure you barely sip/spill it into the vaccum lines, so you dont hydro-lock your motor)

Sea-foam in the car-- Thumbs up from me
Sea-foam in the bike- To scared to try, I ♥ my bike too much

Cars - Excellent Product
Bike - Wouldnt Use It

There was a big discussion on this a while ago with a bunch of peoples opinions.

 

you can use it in both, many have.. i do.. works just fine.. more the better!! haha, i put a whole bottle threw the TB and a whole bottle in the brake booster line and a whole can in the gas.. if i am close to a oil change i put half in the oil also

 

So would it be bad to put it in the bike gas? I dont see why it would cause problems with the oil, you're supposed to use it 1,000 miles before you change ur oil anyways. I'm definatly gonna pick some up and pour a lil in my car gas and in my oil because its due for a oil change.

Then in the spring i'm going to try it on the bike, toss some in the gas, see what it does, then if everything is ok, toss some in the oil and see what it does just before i change it. It shouldnt hurt as long as I dont go overboard on it right? This doesn't raise any red flags for anyone does it. I've heard of people who have positive opinions of it, anyone have any negative effects come from using it?

throw it in the gas... doesn't matter if it's a bike or a car.. same thing..

 

The link md posted goes into more detail, but I've used seafoam in three different bikesI owned , and never had a problem w/it hurting the friction plates. I think the opposite was probable true for the oldest bike I used it on cuz it would slip in 2nd gear, then after using the seafoam twice it didn't slip again. I rode it for 2 years after, w/no more slipping problems. The people who are wary of using it in the oil are thinking that this stuff is some sort of friction modifier, which it isn't. Its very similar to the detergents already present in the gas AND oil that most people use. You don't want to go overboard w/it.... follow the directions on the can. Its pretty good stuff, and I've never had it cause a problem in my, or my customers bikes or cars. I'm not trying to say that everyone should be dumping bottles of this stuff in bikes that don't need it, but as far as a fuel system and crankcase cleaner, it works wonders.
