Rode to work today ( 29 Deg. when I left the house at 0400) Bike took what seemed like longer than normal to warm up, and while riding seemed to "wake up" at about 2100rpm. Didn;t seem off at lower speeds but under decent acceleration, there was a noticable kick in the pants at about 2100. She hasn;t been out in about a month, but it was parked with a full tank of new fuel that had had green stabil added during fillup, and then rode the 5 miles home from the gas station. Slightly clogged slows maybe??? Undecided

Slightly clogged maybe. 2100rpm is too early for the main jets to be picking up the slack.
Sounds like that Techron 2 for 1 deal might be worth a shot.

I don't feel that five miles of riding,,, after adding an additive in the tank,,, is going to:

Get the proper concentration of additive into the carburetor bowls.

And it is in the carburetor bowls where you need the additive the most!
