They also make a transmission treatment which is great, too (automatic trans in cars).

Here's some info and a place to order (through us, we get a buck or two which helps keep the lights on).http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/products/seafoam.html

- July 18, 2012, 16:13:56 PMIf it were mine, I would run some sea-foam through it. I haven't used it in a bike, but I don't see how it would hurt anything. There are perhaps better treatments available, I don't know for sure, but I've had a lot of success on small engines with it, though - chainsaws, mowers, atv's, I use it for all my small engines, and for customers as well. Come to think of it, I think I'll dump some in my 800 as a preventative. Does anyone out there use or (have used) seafoam in their bike???

Recently my 1999 Drifter has begun to'ping' but only 2 up and only when I roll on in top gear on the highway.
Anyone else had this problem or know a cure. I guess lean running and carbon deposits are the obvious cause.
