SeaFoam had its origins with outboard motors, so it makes sense that it be in with that product area.

I use SeaFoam to winterize my bikes every year.  Fill the gas tank to the brim, follow directions and add the correct amount of SeaFoam to the gas to stabilize it for the Winter, run it a few minutes to circulate it into the carbs, then turn it off for the long sleep.  In the Spring, I start them up, and ride as much as possible, to get the old gas burned up, and fresh gas to replace it.  Works fantastic.  Be sure to top off the tank, though, as air space will allow water to condense, which leads to rust.  The SeaFoam, by the way, will help to absorb any water in the gasoline.  Cheers!
