I guess it all depends on whether you have any of those problems they list.  If you buy brand name gasoline from a reputable source, you already have fuel system cleaners as required by Federal regulations.  Adding a bunch more is pretty much a big waste of money.  One area where these fuel system cleaners can be useful is in cases where someone didn't properly store the bike during extended down time and left unstabilized fuel that created deposits and varnish.  An extra slug of cleaner might clean up fouled injectors without having to remove them for cleaning off the bike, for instance.  As for eliminating carbon deposits, I can do that with plain water and a fine mist spray bottle, don't need a high priced petroleum solvent that won't necessarily do what they claim anyway.

Short answer:  Don't waste your money.

Unless off the beatin' path on a trip, I always burn Mobil, Shell, or BP... I did'nt think think this product was useful under good maintence.
Thanks for the input Jer
