Wouldn't hurt to run some Berryman's through a tank every soo often. Since these bikes are typically ridden leisurely- they tend to build carbon on the pistons from what I've seen on numerous low mile wrecked / parted bike pictures.
oh goody. finally validation for my heavy throttle hand. I can just say i'm preventing carbon buildup.
That's not a lie- on both cars and bikes.
Using them 'easy' is worse.
More throttle = more fuel spray- keeps injectors, intake ports, and combustion chamber cleaner.
More heat keeps combustion chamber (head, valves, spark plug, pistons) as well as cat if you have one, O2 sensors... cleaner.
....and more heat = more pollution = deadly NOx as well!!!
I have a hard time believing this comment was made with anything more than tongue-in-cheek....right?
If not, then I guess I don't see the point of it in this thread...
Back on topic, it's encouraging to think my 2013 with only 2200 miles has a long life ahead.
Are you long haulers using 10W30 or 10W40 oil? Just curious on the viscosity, not the brand!
Thanks
