Every 1000 miles or so I use an additive to keep the injectors and the top end clean. Today most additives are safe for o2 sensors and so state on the bottle. I think of it as a once of prevention....
A few years ago my car was running a bit off, one tank of fuel + additive did the trick and made a beleiver out of me.

I have found that STP super concentrated in the black bottle works! About every 3 months i notice the cars power start to drop off a bit, in goes a bottle of STP and within a tank full of fuel it starts running alot better. I have tried other ones but nothing worked like STP where i could feel and here a difference. It worked on my Truck also. I have never had a FI bike so i cant speak for it in a bike. So no its not snake oil the STP works!!
Thanks for the input guys, this is my first injected bike, but I never even considered using a cleaner in any cars we have had. Perhaps I should give the car an occasional treat.
It seems to me that an occasional tank of high detergent fuel might be a good idea.

Hi
I was recommended by my Porsche dealer to run some through my car every month or so if i want to keep things tip top, so thats good enough for me.
Apparently the unleaded varnishes and gums everything up quite quickly especially if its used infrequently.
