My advice is to spend the money and make the drive. These old bikes don't like ethanol. I don't see how any of the treatments can counter the corrosive attributes of ethanol.
The hours spent riding my Enduros is not deducted from my life span.

Some guys on the RD forum carry a small amount of additive around with them and add this each time they fill up.

I can't remember the name at the moment, but I'll edit this post when I have!

EDIT - here we go!

I've been using e10 for years on the farm. Rt360's DT250,TT600 TT500 plus numerous XS650's, lawn mowers chain saws and weed eaters. Only problem I've run across was it started to eat the inside of a fiberglass gas tank on my XS650 tracker.

Purchased some good ole leaded fuel for my DT, 105 octane too, runs well and the plug colour proves it

, not cheap but I don’t really do the miles and I know I can leave the fuel over the winter without it deteriorating.
