I have a Ninja 250, and with this crap ethanol gas we get, every spring, after the bike sat for 3-4 months over winter, I was popping the carbs off and cleaning them because the thing would run like crap.  That was until this spring.  Last fall, I used a goodly amount of that Star-Tron in the tank, and ran it into the carbs before shutting the bike down for the winter.

The stuff worked like a charm, the bike ran as well in the spring as it had in the fall, for the first time since I owned it, 6 years now.

I am a believer.

As another data point, I have used Stabil and Seafoam in the past, and as I said, for whatever reason I still needed to go through the carbs.  I have no affiliation with this product.  I just really like the results I get from it.
