Seafoam DOES have an octane rating. Which means you can burn it by itself. I myself would not try it though. putting 4oz. per gallon might not do anything bad to the bike either. If you decide to run 4oz. per gallon, You might want to check your float bowls at about the half tank point (drain them into a clear GLASS jar) and after it is empty. I have a feeling your petcock screen (inside the tank) will have a bit of gunk on it also. good luck

Could probably do my bike some good, as it seems to be running a bit slow and soft. What is the best way to go about it? (I'm most concerned about cleaning the carburetors out.) Should I just add some to a full tank of gas? Or run the tank down to nothing and pour in pure foam? It doesn't seem like there's a good way to get a lot of the stuff into all 4 carbs at once.
