FROG MAN Posted August 17, 2008 #1 Posted August 17, 2008 The 89 was running a little sluggish last week on that Asheville run.Riding on top the smokies at 6000 ft I really noticed some problems. I just don't have time to run these scoots like they need it. I added a full can 16 ounces to a tank of fuel today and rode for about 75 miles. I add a can full strength twice a year. The next can will be this winter when I put it away with a full tank of fuel for 4 months. I have another can waiting on the 84 when I take it out. I wish they made Seafoam for humans. I could have used a drink for my leg aches friday night.The price is still $5.66 a can at Walmart and $5.98 a can at our local auto parts store. Sometimes they run it on sale for $5.00 a can. Good Stuff can't say enough about it. I keep some in the gasoline generator tank,weed eater mix,tractor,etc.
BuddyRich Posted August 17, 2008 #2 Posted August 17, 2008 I aggree with that. If it uses gas I put seafoam in it.
Yammer Dan Posted August 17, 2008 #3 Posted August 17, 2008 That "New to Me" 85 has seen 2 cans already and going to put 1/2 can in oil and run it about 10 miles before change. Now just deciding what type of oil for it. with only 20k when I got it I'm thinking Synthetic (can't Spell) instead of Dino. Oh I've had it two weeks it now has 22k. Bout time for a change..

Dan, forget about the synthetic Stuff. Use a standard, mineral Oil and be a happy Clutcher, ahhhrgg Camper ....
Yammer Dan Posted August 18, 2008 #5 Posted August 18, 2008 Thats what I'm leaning towards Squeeze. Castrol 20/50 has never let me down. And no Friction modifiers. Clutch in this thing grabs like it is supposed to and it runs stronger every day. I was thinking of ways to perk it up a bit but not sure I want to!!!! 20k in 23yrs it just wants to run now!!
