Wondering if anyone uses a fuel system (carb) cleaner at regular intervals. I've always made it a habit to run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in my '02 F-150 whenever I change the oil. I was looking at doing the same on the America but was curious if there were any good reasons not to. I have zero intentions of getting rid of my bike anywhere in the near future (10+ years) and want to keep the motor running as smooth and clean as possible.

I like to run Seafoam through when I do an oil change and then every other month or so add a couple of jiggers of Marvel Mystery Oil to the tank for good measure.
