Seafoam is a different critter than Techron or the other cleaners that use a kerosene base. It has stronger solvents which act much quicker. Techron et al is a good preventive additive while Seafoam is more of a "rescue" additive.The "mechanic-in-a-can" has sorted my engine issues that I was talking about after my Kansas trip. I've only ridden the bike about 240 miles since I got back from Kansas and I had put 5 oz of Seafoam in before I rode it out Ft Morgan and back (113 mile roundtip). It had seemed as if the "missing" and lack of power that I had endured when I was coming back from Wichita, seemed better by the time I got back from Ft Morgan. Today I had added another 3 oz and topped off the tank before I headed to Front Range Airport for my meeting with Chuck. As far as i can tell, the bike was running normally! Yea!!
I had never used Seafoam before. Techron has been my go-to product for engine tuning but Seafoam may have won my loyalty from here on out. Chuck says that all these products are basically diesel fuel mixed with alcohol. I don't know about that and Chuck has proven that he knows way more than I do about all things mechanical. But since I'm always looking for the easy way out, Seafoam will work for me!
