SeaFoam for winter storage, ruff running, and so much more

SeaFoam (http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUp.htm)

A garage must have if you ask me. This stuff is just amazing. I would call "snake oil" if I haven't used it myself and know many others who have done the same.

I know this winter I will be storing my bike with this in it instead of stabil.

Last spring, my sons dirt bike was very hard to start and it was idling super rough or wouldn't idle at all. A splash of seafoam in the tank and 5 minutes later the bike ran like a champ again. :dthumb:

what is this winterizing thing you are talking about :rofl:

I use stabil as preventative maintenance, and seafoam as a reactive maintenance if needed.

Stabil has always worked if used properly, but seafoam is definatly good shit!

[marko138]

Same here.

[ceo012384]

I run some seafoam in my gas every once in a while... the ethanol (10%) in our gas around here encourages valve buildup and I want those fuckers shiny and clean.

[Gas Man]

Truth there!! Think I might run some soon in my bikes...

Seafoam can be used as a fuel stabilizer... just FYI.... used it in my truck...

I've used it every time I've brought my bike out of storage (which seems like way too much damn it!) run a can through with the fuel... usually half at a time... never had an issue with my fuel or carbs that it hasn't fixed.

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.

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.

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.

yes, winterizing, what is that?


seafoam ROCKS for cleaning light deposits and prepping a motor for winter/long periods of storage.

[Dnyce]

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

[marko138]

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.

Gas man or others....Seafoam...ok to put this shit in with the gas that already has Sta-bil or is that ill-advised?

Shouldn't cause a problem. I have done it before in snowblowers/lawnmowers.

[Mr Lefty]

no problem... I put staybil in my gas on my ZZR before I stored it... ran a can of Seafoam through (over a couple tanks) when it first came out of storage...

then again... I did loop and total it... but I'm about 80% sure that wasn't caused by the Seafoam

[Gas Man]

It won't hurt Marko!!

[marko138]

I'm convinced. I'll pick up a bottle this week. Thanks fellas.

[Mr Lefty]

NP... hope it's the end of your issue :luck:

Me too....but I have my doubts.

[Dnyce]
