Bought a used Wing that was running a little rough with a flat spot right off idle. I used a can of Sea Form in all of my fill ups and within 500 miles, the bike was running like a Japanese watch

I now put a can in the gas tank at every oil change and swear by this stuff. It is even used when I store the Z for 6 months during the winter. Car has started first crank every Spring.

Thanks for the replies, guys! Shell was all i ever put on the Z until they stopped bringing 93oct to PR and caused the car to hesitate between 3-4k rpms. When i switched to ecomaxx 93oct, the hesitation was gone! The thing with ecomaxx is that i havent really found info regarding if its top tier gas or not.

Regarding seafoam, i used it on my wrx a few times and really seemed to work on the 90k mile engine at that time. I will also consider seafoam in the future.

Ill try the techron for the time being. Again, for 30k miles, im assuming the fuel system cant be that bad, but any bit of help is always a good thing.

Use Techron every 5,000 miles right before an oil change. And preferably when it is being used as a daily driver and not in a gas tank that will be burned up on a long drive. I think the "dwell time" is better if you do 350 on a tank miles in a couple of weeks instead of one day.
Next, add 6 oz of Marvel Mystery Oil to a tank every couple thousand miles. It seems to help with the sticky fuel level sensor that gives strange gas tank readings and is good for the fuel system too.
There is a lot of crap in gasoline today and preventive maintenance is the way to go.
