You're not supposed to...
I use stabil or some other brand fuel stablizer for winter. I on occassion have run motorcycle carb cleaner... but not regularily.
Properly storing your bike for winter, riding it frequently and a host of other general maintance things means that it's better taken care of than 95% of the other bikes out there, and I see most of them running well enough despite the abuse. I figure given that why do anything more... she runs well and that's about all I care.

well, thx for the replies (and the harping fret)
as of now i am not running anything in her but premium,
what "crap" would be left in the system?
from what i understand it removes this "crap" from your system, injectors, etc.
its specifically made for motocycles, not what you put in your car.
heres a link to it:

Why waste your money on premium? I so no to the additive- just use good gas dude.

Because some people think that it's better gas when there's one pump that says Standard, and anouther that says Premium.

Yea, I only used 92 octane once, but after my bike went 0-150 in 1 second... I went back to 87.

Yeah, hes always the s***. Anyways, I use Wetter Water and it helps in the summer by me. As for the gas additive, I really dont think you need them unless you are having problems or want weather protection like WoOt. But, I dont think they are needed.

I don't think anyone (including me) is saying there is no difference...race fuel is a completely different animal and I sure hope you'd have the mods done to accomodate that high of an octane...anyway, what I wrote about oil is that simply changing your oil is the key thing, not what kind you use...have an engine ping or knock, then try a higher octane...I'd have to be a complete moron to think that there's no difference between oils and gasoline.
One thing I've noticed with oil and gasoline is a lot of riders attach these magical qualities to them and belive a lot of hype that's based on a sliver of fact blown up to be grandiose via advertising...I don't buy into that hype...that's all.
**talking like Forest Gump** Sorry for taking a dump in your magical addative party...

Just one question that hasn't been answered yet.
How can an additive lower temperatures by 40-60 degrees???
Would I be stupid to call BS on that?

thats an oil additive called 2cool, they claim 40-60 deg. but that might be a little far fetched. we use it in our 50cc race bikes that have automatic clutch, without it the clutch would get so hot after 2 laps that it wasnt engaging properly, add some 2cool and voila, made a world of difference, thats why i was so curious as to how it would work on these hot runnin beasts.....
BS?? i dont know on these bikes...yet

Whoa. Some of these posts are pretty harsh, and all you asked is what people thought of additives, lol.
Anyway, not a big fan. I've used additives before, had bad experiences (premature sensor faliure, clogged injectors, gummy residue, etc.) But I haven't used one in a bike, and honestly, I really don't plan to. It's a new bike, I really shouldn't need to use anything.
Now as for the Unleaded/Premium stuff. WTF?? I don't understand where half the people on here are getting their information. Higher octane....cleaner burning. You're not "wasting" your money by spending an extra .40 cents PER TANK to get a higher octane gas. These are high-performance machines! Would you stick 87 octane in a Dodge Viper? Corvette? GT? Most of the comments on here are just false opinions with no facts to back them up.
The dude was asking a simple question and wanted feedback, not flaming.
Anyway, I'll stick to my Premium fuel and high-end Oil, regarless of what information anyone else want to blow out their ass.
