Brock just completed a in depth test & sells Wynns Power Charger. He dumps the entire can into about 2-3 gallons of gas & runs that out. He proved that his strong dosage DID clean the fuel system & intake track in a very short time.As usual Brock knows his s...

I just turned 30K on my Atomic silver 08 ZX-14 and for the last 20K I have been using 3 oz of Lucas Octane Booster for each fill-up. The 15oz bottle will treat 25 gallons of fuel. Lucas claims that it enhances performance, upper cylinder lubrication and increases MPG. It also keeps injectors clean. Our fuel contains 10% ethanal which means that we get 5% less fuel economy and I think this product has made a difference. Lucas says that this stuff is not street legal, whatever that means. I will continue to use it, at worst it can"t do any harm.

Just hit 8500 miles on my '08 and never used any additives. I'll use something to clean my injectors before storage this year though.

Clean the injectors?? Guys todays gas with the additives and being what it is means that its a cleaner burning fuel than ever.there are toyotas with four hundred thousand miles out there and have never had any additives to clean the injectors.After two hundred thousand miles then maybe but this is a waste of money and time im my opinion

ZX-14fan. You are right about the integrity of the fuel that we use but there are still plenty of ways to get dirt and other crap into the fuel system. Have you located the fuel filter on your ZX-14? I haven't either. I tried to pick one up at my dealer and he couldn't locate a part # or show me where it was on the computer. I have shoved 750 gallons of fuel through this bike using the same fuel filter. Hope it is still functional. By the way, I guess that the fuel filter is built into the fuel pump.

44k is a good add. too especially for removing carbon from valves which i'm more worried about than clogged injectors

Yes we don't have a replaceable fuel filter . You can add one in line but that's about it.
