Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Fuel Treatment to clean valves

Have you looked at your valves to see if they are crudded up? You can't really see much by pulling the spark plug.
In my opinion (which could easily be wrong
), the only place that a build-up of crud would affect operation is on the seating surface of the valve and head. I just can't picture how a fuel additive is going to keep anything out of there. :-k.

I have 2 heads to work from. On one head the valves are not that bad but on/near the mating surface with the valve cover gasket in one chamber the surface is gouged up. All other chambers look descent.
The exhaust ports/valve shafts look better on one head compared to the original head although they are not great.
The original head that came off the bike the valves are pretty carboned up.
I'm trying to figure out which head to use.
I'm getting a camera either tonight or tomorrow and will post pictures asap of both head valves.

The surface of the valves doesn't really matter. It's the ring that sits on the seats that does.
