DOES THIS REALLY WORK????

If it does, is it worth it when an engine is only doing approximatly 750 miles a year and does certain lead replacement additives do the same thing?

I seen a very similar thing on eBay myself, I would have some scepticism myself although I am no expert.

If the bike you are using needs no higher octane than currently available from the pumps, then why bother?

If your bike is only doing 750 miles per year, then the (possible, NOT certain) valve regression IF IT HAPPENS will probably not be serious in less than about 70 years! Will you still have the bike then????

It doesn't.

It was never used by the RAF to cope with Russian fuel, either.

It's the placebo effect, it will work if you think it does!.
