    Please don't use Stabil. It will leave red crystals in the bottom of your tank. It is just a surface tensioner for fuel, it will congeal in fuel eventually and if it gets into a carburetor, it causes issues.

    Trust me. I know and have experienced it.

    Use SeaFoam exclusively.

    Hmm, I have never had a problem with StaBil in anything, and I use it in everything, including my ski boat. It does go bad, you should not use it after it's been opened for 2 years.
    So with Seafoam, is it 1oz per gal?

    You can't overdose with SeaFoam. Like I remarked earlier, I'll add 16 ounces to the F6B during January. A few other times of the year I'll share a can of it between my DR650 and it (8 ounces per each bike).
