I got my hands on some BG44K and put it in the fuel.. Can came with a yellow funnel attachment that worked rather well I should add.. There was some odd looking square holed disk in the bottom of the can.. I'm assuming that's there to add in the shaking of the can mixing?

 

I put it in a full tank of fuel and ran the bike down to the bottom of the tank, on reserve and now going to let it sit for a couple of day (gotta wait for this snow storm to pass).. and then take the bike out for a fill up..

 

I ran the bike at rather high revs and man I think this bike's fuel system must have been dirty!! A few times the engine cough, almost like it was clearing it's throat and the throttle response was getting a little better.. because it was so cold out the bike was feeling different than the week before but it felt good.. after 140 miles in 32'F weather, highway speeds, the bike was feeling rather spirited..

 

From what people have been telling me, its the next tank of gas that i will really feel the difference.. Hopefully so.. I'm guessing I have perhaps one or two weeks of safe riding left before it gets horrible out there.. so I wanted to clean the gunk out before putting the bike aside for winter..

 

Saturday will tell how this all worked out.

 

Seaking,Glad you found some and YES next ride you will wonder if something is wrong as it will be smoother and seems to run as you say more spirited. BTW,You still want those other 2 cans? They will be in next Thursday but unless its early I wont ship till Tuesday of following week as I will be on the Big Bend Trip...Oh Yea you dont have to stop riding in 2 weeks......Just come on down to TEXAS
