hey just wondered if it would be ok to run a gallon or 2 of race fuel to clean the carbs on a bike that has sat for a year but runs soso, or if anyone has any good advice on additives? thanks guys

How is the bike running now? Usually u will lose low end first cuz the pilot jet is small and gets plugged easy. I dont think u can clean it out (with race gas or additive) without taking the carbs apart..depending on how severe. If it runs ok, race gas wont hurt anything if u put it in to help clean it. I store my bike with race gas in it cuz it takes a lot longer to go bad.

usually if a bike sits for 3-4 + mos. the carbs should be gone through and cleaned, and no race gas usually dosnt work, because theres a good chance of crud built up in the float bowlbut hey wouldnt hurt to run a tank through!!!)

Race fuel may flush it through,...
Just dont forget that if your plugs have been sittn
aswell and only have had 1 type of fuel through
them,chucking higher octane levels past those
worn out tips might seal the plugs fate completely.
