ZX 12 running rough
I added some Lucas fuel injector cleaner to the gas and a couple oz. would've been enough to treat 7 gallons rather than the 2 that was in it. Buy the time I drove a mile to the gas station the motor began running sporadically, acted as if it was a 2 stroke with a partially fowled plug. I filled up the gas tank and drove a few miles hoping that it would clear up but it began to run worse. So I removed all the gas and replaced it with premium. It still runs like it's missing one cylinder until about 4000 rpm. I rode it about 5 miles. The bike has a full arata pipe, PC3 with a program for the arata. I did switch the battery 20 miles before this problem, as I overcharged the previous battery. Any advice would be appreciated.

I use Lucas fuel cleaner all tghe time without problems....
But you might have fouled a plug.....Feel the pipes while running to find the right one , and change that plug out.....

thanks Stuart, will do. It really feels like a fouled plug. the mileage is at 7600 so maybe a set of plugs is
might be in order.
