Good for cleaning carbs out when you put some in the tank?

yes, but only use about a half a can per full fuel tank, it is made to treat up to 25 gallons!

Hah, per info from website.

One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).

How much should I mix with the oil before I do my next oilchange?  Or is that a good thing seeing how the oil in the case is also used to lube the tranny?  Of course I could just be pulling that little info out of my arse or something.. but thats my assumption.

Not sure about how much to put in your oil, I am certain someone more experienced than me will chime in.  While you wait, here is a pretty good article with real life results:

Why don't you just run it straight through the carbs, as recommended on the can? Just did it to my friend's '89 accord, and it seemed to have noticeable (good) effects to both of us.

Ya I guess that would work and all except for the tank being in way unless you have some idea as to how I can do this without too much effort.

NW Dave? How dare you? I'm the NW Dave, and that's not just me playing Spartacus. Why I oughta...

Anyways, pull the tank. It's really easy. So I've heard.

Hah, sad thing is I used to work at the portland base.  Now I'm in K-Falls, lived in Ridgefield before this, nice small town.

Sad? Portland rules for sure, but K Falls isn't that bad. Oh wait, yes it is...

Sounds like you're in the military (wow, I'm perceptive). As of late I feel like the only civilian on the forum, so you've got company.

Portland sucks, it should just fall into the columbia and take all the crime with it.

You're either really old or really Republican. Portland is not that crime-ridden.

I'm just messing with you, man. I love Portland though. But hey, glad to see there are 2 Daves in the area on a GS.

Hmm, it's places like Seattle and Portland that really screw up Washington and Oregon when it comes to politics.  Bah whatever.

Nah, it's places like the rest of Washington and Oregon that really screw up the politics of Seattle and Portland.

Yeah, I may have to agree with that. But that's not important to this thread.

Anyways, I have no clue about the Seafoam. Sorry.

Dave

The key, I've found, with Seafoam is to put it in small quantities into your gastank, run the bike a while, top it off with gas, then let it sit for a least a day.  That way it really gets a chance to work throught the varnish and other goo.  Don't use too much though.  If you use too much your bike will run like @#$% until you work it all out.  I'd say, stick with the once per gallon go use up one or two of those gallons, then top off on your way home.

If your tank/lines/carbs are really dirty, you may have to do some minor adjustments to the carbs or possibly even the valves.  But, that is if it is really gunked up. 

Good luck

Oh, and Seattle and Portland are the last bastions of sanity in the NW :

Just kidding, I love you all...or am I?

it works dam good on old pu trucks.

I think this might be the case, in any event I think it might be best to rebuild my carbs, and the valves do need some adjusting I swear I am heaing some ticking and float going on, this ain't no piston slap either.
