Just 1 oz per gallon it is very strong and keeps your carb nice and clean.

Seafoam, Love it! Saved me some actual work by cleaning my carbs for me. I really dislike taking all 4 of those buggers off. They are a very serious pain to get them all synched together again.
Now, I haven't tried this, but the Seafoam can also says it's good to add a bit to your oil also. Anyone tried this?

I don't understand why you would want something like a 40w/60 in your engine.....help me out here.....did I miss something? I run 20w50 already because it can handle higher pressures and temps. And it doesn't burn up as fast as 10w40 would. It keeps my engine cooler and it runs smoother. All that equals longer engine life with less wear. So, if I could actually put something like 40w60 in, it would be that much better to a point... My favorite oil is Royal Purple 20w50. It's made specifically for bikes and it works amazingly well. There is a very obvious difference in the feel of the engine when I use Dino compared to the Purple. |

There is a very obvious difference in the feel of the engine when I use Dino compared to the Purple. 1. Most engine wear occurs at startup. 2. Your motorcycle engine doesn't come close to creating the pressures or the temperatures that a twin turbo diesel engine will....and a 15w/40 conventional, or the newer 5w/40 synthetic diesel oils, excel under high pressure, high temp conditions. 3, Don't think you will increase engine life by running something that heavy. |

May I add one of the toughest job your Oil has is when the piston decelerates at the top of the bore
On a engine with hours we find that ridge worn in the bore were the ring stops at TDC.
Explain. Pour water on your counter or a piece of glass, then take a Squidgy and swipe it across the water as fast as you can.
It hydroplanes and leaves a thin layer of water.
Now do the same test only move the Squidgy slowly. you have removed all the water, none left, dry.
That's what the rings are doing as the Piston slows down coming up to the top of the stroke and reversing direction.
Tough job for any Oil.

Good point diver,,,that's why high mileage bores are bell shaped at the top,,,,
