Don't know why so much opposition to redex, it doesn't cost the earth and is definitely worth trying before more invasive ( read time consuming and expensive) things are tried.
redex is fine, i have used it in the past. but if it dont help after a tankfull its not going to help.

now as the OP has been putting seafoam in every fill up then using redex is not going to help if the seafoam is not helping. if the sefoam has helped then stop using the stuff as your bike is now running properly (your wasting money). if its not helped then its time to get more serious and do some proper diagnosing..
