I've run all my Motorcycles for years with a cap or two of Redex every few tank fulls once they have had an initial big glug for years and rarely get carb/fuel problems.As I now,"Winterize" my bike I have no problems with Stale fuel as the Redex stabilizes the fuel as well PS Wilkos Supermarkets are doing 250ml for £2.00.Bargain and I just bought a 400ml of GT85 Lube for £3.00 from there as well As you are away you might find something like in a Supermarket where you are.

Re: Rough Running
sea foam or redex is not going to help. modern petrol has all the additives you need.

Re: Rough Running
Even modern petrol is still dinosaur juice and not as clean as it seems, when it stands or is allowed to evaporate it still leaves gum and lacquer behind. Redex has a lot of kerosene in it but also a few other goodies that like to eat dinosaur juice residue, over the years a bit of redex in the tank has worked miracles for me.
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.

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.. |
