Title: Does anyone used a fuel injector cleaner additive?

Does anyone put a fuel injector and valve cleaner additive to his scooter? And noticed a different?

No. I do use Sta-bil in the equipment that does not move or moves very little during winter. The injectors are way easy to remove and dunk in a small cup of your favorite petroleum cure-all after you back flush with onboard tubing and pumps. That stuff at Walmart and auto part stores for "cleaning while you drive" is of questionable value, in my opinion.

I bought a putoline injector and valve cleaner additive. i dont think you have this in the u.s. i used it i can tell my scooter drive little smoother and i dont have a strong gas smell like before but for exactly results i need to finish my all gas tank and then put fresh gas.

Anything that seems to work is good! I would not be surprised you have stuff that we don't what with our EPA restricting what is available!

I use Rislone or Flashlube, both make a noticeable difference to smoothness and power.  They also work by burning the deposits inside the combustion chamber, so if you've never done it it's worth the $3-5 or so.

If the bike has been sitting a long time, fresh gas is about the best thing you can put in it. Most of these magic potions require  you to run the bike for a while to get the effect, which is the same effect you get if you put in fresh gas and run the bike for a while. If you let it get up to temperature, and run it for a while, the engine cleans itself. That's the instructions on all the mechanic in a bottle products people claim cause the bike to run smoother.  So you're adding money to the tank and letting the bike do what it's going to do anyway.

When I had my xciting 250, it started stumbling badly for some reason as if an injector was restricted. And the spark plug showed evidence of being run lean. I added some sea foam in a couple of tanks and drove moderately . And the problem was solved. Then I could drive wide open with no problem. After that, I’d add some sea foam every 5 or six tankfuls.
