Why? Don't you want to SELL them?



Pouring fuel additive is something you won't notice any benefit from in most cases. Maybe you happened to get bad gas at that same time, since most times the additive is used when you fill up a fresh tank. Sometimes people over analyze things and expect something that won't come of it or start thinking and tricking themselves into thinking there is a problem. Most cases, peoples imagination runs wild when they look into stuff they don't usually do.

Could have been humid weather? Damp out? Maybe it was you and not your truck?
I only use Lucas Fuel injector cleaner for additives. i use 93oct so no need for $8 bottle of nothing. well 93.1octane....lol

They were selling the stuff at my local 7-11 so I thought it would help.

Your better off spending the extra $2.60 to fill up with 93oct vs 91oct.

Anyone whom I have ever met, called them gixsters. I understand they are GSXR 600/750/1000. I didn't realize you were being facetious. i see said the blind man....,lol

TANKZ400, I'm well aware its gsxr, but its pronounced "gixxer". I also have been around bikes for years. Anywho, the slam on em was just a friendly little flame from a yamaha rider to a gsxr rider, nothing more

Its a Gixxer. Its a nick name. I have been riding them longer than yo have been selling them. If a salesman ever said that to me I would be looking for another salesman. Hell I know more about Gixxers than more than half of the sales guys anyway. IMO the real salesmen are the guys in the garage that are wearing the dirty shirt and dont wear neck ties. They can sell a bike faster than any "salesman" can anyday. I always talk to the mechanics first before I buy anything. They are the ones that do the real work and will tell you the truth when it comes to durability. Only thing I want a saleman to do is keep the coffee hot,make the phone calls and get the paperwork ready. Thats it...

LMAO. That's what I told the guy whom I bought my last car for my wife from. He was such a douche, I had to set him straight. There are guys out there that know their stuff, but most salesman are only required to know the basics and the differences between 2 models. That's it unfortunately. Salesman are all commision. If they don't sell, they make nothing. Actually, most guys get a draw which they have to pay back once they sell something. Sales is something i never want to be involved with again. it's all cutthroat and you deal with user customers who waste your time all the time.

Yep, thats the way to do it. Salesman only want the cash, mechanics know the ins and outs and what to expect.
