Cheap HP/throttle response improvement

[stoinkythepig]

My 9R was suffering from lackluster throttle response and it felt rather sluggish in general. I put some Techron in my gas tank and within 75 miles I noticed dramatic improvements. I know for sure that I get tremendous buildup of gunk on the back sides of my intake valves (i can see it when I do valve adjustments) and I know that Techron works to remove said gunk (verified through inspection). I must've had quite a buildup because the change was dramatic. So, if your bike does not feel as peppy as it used to, it may need the same treatment. I have no affiliation with Techron. Just a happy customer.

never used it on my bike but my old VW's loved that stuff...my mechnic recommened it to me...

I use it every year at the beginning of the season. I only use about a 1/4 of the bottle and then throw the rest in my car for the heck of it. It does work great

I run the Yamaha ring free in my shit. Does the same thing as the Techron cleans deposits and shit. works pretty good.

i ran half a bottle in my 9 and it ran like shit. bogged so bad until 8000 rpm's. i pulled the plugs and put in new one's and changed the fuel filter. runs great now. all i can think of is i had so much shit built up and my valve's it cleaned it off and fouled my plugs.

Hopoe it wasn't one of those bottles that treats 20 gallons... I hear that if you use too much, the engine won't like it.
