Would a scooter with as few as, lets say 1000 miles benefit from seafoam at all?

My opinion is that a small amount in the gas would be good. If you wish a small amount in the oil and run for about 10 minutes before changing the oil would be good. Just don't drive it with the Sea Foam in the oil.

he used to run mobil 1,,,till i turned him to the dark side ,,,royal purple,,,with a 4 oz shot of lucas oil stabilizer,,,with this combination we saw a 60-70 cooler peak operating temp,,,with back to back runs,,,it really did make a noticable difference,,,you could feel it,,,,man that thing had grunt,,,with a capitol G Royal Purple out of the great State of Texas. I recommended to a couple ATV Hot Rod builders I had in Texas, were having Clutch, Gear, Heat issues with a Valvoline Dino oil, gone with the purple. I enjoy there Gear oil in the final drive of the Scoot and also the Diff. of the Street/Strip Silverado. Also enjoy there Trans. oil in the Silverado's PATC Raptor 700-R4. Wish I did temp. comparison on the Diff, surprising how hot they run. Kinda stuck on the Maxima for the CBR1K. Next change for the Silverado gets Maxima, will do temp comparisons this time. I see you use the Lucas regular, Good Results?? Yep i see less syth oil gasket creep with the lucas,,, in my stella and dr both with manual gear boxes,,i notice less whine,and better shifting,,also back to back runs with the RP in the dr 60-70* less heat same bike same day,,,within the hour,,and a hotter part of the day too,,,i'm sold

Just don't drive it with the Sea Foam in the oil. What about running it through the engine while the engine is running, stopping the engine, letting it sit, and then starting the engine up again and getting the infamous white plume of smoke; similar to how the bottle recommends pouring some down the brake booster hose on a car? Granted, you would have to squirt a much smaller amount in a scooter engine to avoid bad things happening.
