It's better to change the oil & filter before you put the bike away in the fall.

That way you have fresh, pure oil on all your machined surfaces instead of used, contaminated oil.

says whom?
I've never seen any proof that one is better than the other. I figure I'd rather have fresh oil in it when I start riding it than when it's just sitting in storage for 5-6 months.

in the video it mentioned adding it to your oil, in thru the carb/vacuum line, and the rest in your tank. triple attack lol. that wasnt for storage, that was just proper usage according to the vid. but that was a car. i dont winterize, never will. just curious about usage.


i decided not to use it yet, but i will. already got the can

I dont change my oil before or after winter storage. Never have, never will. I dont see the point. I change at the recommended intervals.

that was me... I put haf the can in one tank... ran like shit for about 20 mins... real sluggish. but then... perfect.

I finished off the second half of the can in the next tank... and it ran perfect for the entire tank.


I've added it to the oil of my truck... didn't notice any difference. poured it in the intake of my truck to clean out the carb (on one truck) and the injectors (on another) BIG diffrence.

sea foam will have share a shelf with WD40 and duct tape in my garage.
