I ordered some of this recently. Buying two together was $3-4 cheaper.

Chief, how this liquid effect to your bike and how long? Do you left this in your bike with oil and drive or takeoff and put a new oil without them?

You put it in the bike just prior to oil change. Run the bike 15 minutes, drain old oil and do your oil change. Instructions are on the can.

First, the "ticking" sound may be your cold idle solenoid or some other unrelated situation. How many times you have to use the product and how long it will help, depends upon your bike. Try it a couple of times and see what happens.

Ok, Yes you are right, when engine is cold that sound is more stronger. If it idle solenoid, is there any instructions how this can be fix or change?

Not that I know of. If you have changed the air box, the noise is louder. Some riders remove the solenoid because of the noise, but that creates a cold idle problem.



NOTE: There is a mod for fixing the cold idle problem if you have removed the solenoid.
