    Hello folks,

    I have a 99 honda VTR-1000 with 14K miles and it is idling a touch
    rough. I want to put some carb/fuel system cleaner in the next tankfull
    but I'm not sure what is snake-oil and what actually works. Any
    recommendations?

    thanks
    andrew

    I have had good luck with Redline Si-1 Complete fuel system cleaner.
    It comes in a 12 or 15 oz bottle for about $4.50 and is concentrated
    enough that a bottle will last up to 150 gallons worth. It is a
    detergent and not a solvent so it dissolves deposits instead of just
    moving them from one surface to another (like the stems of the intake
    valves)
    Here is their web site: http://www.redlineoil.com/
    it has a dealer locator on it.
