Fuel additive

[Desert Dog]

I'm looking at buying a 2000 Interstate trike. It only has 12k miles, so I'm a bit concerned about the lack of use. The owner tells me that he used an additive called K44, which cleaned up the engine. Anyone know about this product, or have other comments about buying a Valk with minimal mileage? Thanks.
Riddle: What do you do with a wife who make you buy Valkyries? Answer: Keep her. This will make Valk #3, and she instigated every purchase.

Take it out fer a good ride. You already have 2 of them. You should know right off if it's running correct or not. Can't seem to place K44 at the moment. Techron works good for me in the cage and the Valkyrie. Keep us informed please you lucky canine you. I hear about the good ones and they are ALREADY taken. RIDE SAFE.

Looks interesting. I dump a few caps of stabilizer in her for winter storage, and a can of Sea Foam when I take her out in the spring. Half a can of Sea Foam in the oil a few days before my first oil change of the year, just to flush the system. Bought her 2 years ago with 14K miles on her, and she runs just fine!

Your BG 44K is just another Techron, SeaFoam or your Shell one, forgot the name.

Any of them are good, if I remember correctly the BG 44K is the highest priced one, then Techron, then the Shell product and Sea Foam is catching up pretty fast.     We use O'Rielly for our parts supplier, and their road salesman who stops in every so often with deals, always hits us the day Sea Foam goes on sale.   We usually buy 3 or 4 cases of it, and then use it as needed, in the bikes, or customers vehicles.

I always have 2 cans setting in my back garage.   Just in case it is nice and I can get the Chevy Trike out.     Didn't have much time today, but she got 48 miles in my screwing around chasing gift cards and etc for Christmas presents for the nephews.     They all want Lowe's cards.     Nothing else, and in turn the wife and I get a bunch of gift cards for like Applebee's, Chili's, Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster.    So instead of having to come up with something for them, they just go that route, and we go the Lowe's route.     Every year we get the big old thank yous and hugs from the Nephew's, and the firkin married in Nephew, gives us a hand shake and a thank you.    Otherwise he might just get his ass knocked on the floor.    NO I don't like the two timing cheating bastard.   Niece came home sick one day and caught him and a teacher from the school he is basketball coach for having at it in her bed.       He got off and left before she could find the 38 Speial.   He would have been dead if she could of found it.   She won't give him a divorce, she has made him suffer now for 9 years.   She figures 4 more years and both boys will be out of college and then their dad will be HISTORY.

PS: The 38 Special is loaded with HOLLOW POINTS and she does know how to aim and shoot it.    Her dad taught all the siblings how to use a pistol.    He was an over the road trucker and it was his concealed carry back then.   When he retired, she didn't have a weapon so it got presented to her.

Desert Dog you got to love her for it! I always appreciate my wife's interest in my projects.

Thanks guys. I'm going to run a carfax on it, and if that looks good I'll be driving over to El Paso to give it a ride. I'll be selling my 04 Wing trike, so if you know anyone who is interested, let me know.

Techron has seemed to work the best for me. I run it through the Valk twice a year now. I noticed the change in idle after the fist tankful when i did it. Before the winter I put a bottle of Techron  in, ride the bike till it has half a tank, put in a bottle of Seafoam fill her up and over winter the bike with a full tank.
