I'd never heard of SeaFoam before.  I take it you mean something along 
the lines of spraying Deep Creep into the air intake, or directly into 
the valve, e.g. when removing the airbox to check/change the plugs? 
Dunno.  Their claims look impressive though, and the fact that sooty 
deposits can work back up the inlet lines to the IAC valve probably 
means there's more of the Van der Waals bonded goop lurking in there :o)

If you think it would help, I may look into it.  It's so great having an 
easy starting, smooth running bike.

Cheers,

Andrew
