I have.
Whatever the servo has on the shelf. I hope it doesn't knock the octane rating around too much as I put the whole bottle in, and only do it before a hard ride so the fuel is only in the tank for a few hours. Maybe once sometimes twice a year.

i think most of those bottles are supposed to be mixed with a ~60 litre tank of fuel
i used a bottle of 'carby cleaner' on my old cbr250, cept would put like a quarter of the bottle in with a full tank... noticed very slight increase in throttle response/smoothness, just like when pulling the carbys down and cleaning them out even when they are not quite 'sumoto' dirty

Yeah I have used it.... I had a plug fouling problem a year ago and used it for a while to clear that up...
Must buy another bottle, wouldnt hurt to run one through again...

That is handy to know. Used to Manufactures directions it should be a full tank (60l) lasting at least a full few days, but half a bottle in 20L for 1 day should be more potent
or
either way i will give it a blast.
Thanks

Ok thanks everyone.
I didn't know what and whether to use the cleaner in a bottle or whether it has to be done at the stealership or whether to take the injectors out to clean it that way.
cheers

if you really have dirty injectors, the only way to properly clean them is by taking them out and having them cleaned
