    ?? about ring free

    I run a intruder 150 with xd-50 this morning i tried doing a shock treatment with ring free 2 oz's per gallon of gas, usually when i fire the motor it smokes for a minute or two after that it's hardly noticable,but today with the ring free it smoked all the time even at WOT,is this normal with ring free,do i need to do a plug change now? anything else i need to check after running ring free?

    Thanks in advance, mixer

    Re: ?? about ring free (mixer)

    Ring Free is a yamaha product, we recommend using BRP engine tuner. I would pull the plugs and inspect them, I believe the reason it smoked all day was the ring free was working through your fuel system. It will probably continue to smoke as long as the ring free is in the tank.

    I know 2oz. is what the Ring Free bottle says for shock, but I hear of guys using Seafoam (similar product) for 1oz. per gallon. That may be why it is 'smoking' a bit. Once you run out that tank, she will run like before, and better.

    Just remember Mixer the tuner is an off the water application and sprayed into the carbs. . That is what we call decarbing.
