Totally agree with darrsi If someone wants to put additives in their fuel why shouldn't they ? Surely it's their bike their money and their choice and all darrsi was doing was putting it out there that he does and it's half price at the mo and it works for him, I'm not mechanically confident enough to dismantle carbs and I'd think about it to help my fuel system If it saved a few hundred a quid for a mechanic to do the work Like mtread said let's go back to arguing about politics , it's sooooo much more fun
Yes it's up to you to waste your money if you want, I'm not stopping you. But new riders read this forum and as an engineer who has worked on hundreds of marine engines (replacing some injectors this morning in fact) I feel that i probably have a reasonably valuable opinion on what you put in engines - and what you don't put in engines.
As I said before, just use BP Ultimate if you must.

You kind of omitted the fact that you're an engineer, which would also explain why you have no qualms in stripping engines down, with the training/ experience, access or ownership to all the correct tools and no doubt a lovely workshop with every facility you could ever possibly need at your instant disposal.
Not everyone has that luxury unfortunately.
By the way, I'm not knocking it, I'm quite jealous actually. :\

The engine has been underwater for a fortnight and is stinking out the workshop. You wouldn't have envied me yesterday slopping out the mud and rotting weed from the engine bay, lol.
