Haha i had no idea that seafoam did that. Still, was it normal for seafoam to stall my bike like that?

Did you check the carbs after the sea foam? It could have knocked something loose and it's now in your pilot jet or main jet. That's what it's suppose to do. Clean crap out.

Ok back to the drawing board, Now you have to NOT use seafoam and go try the coolant again if no smoke it was the seafoam if you get white smoke you have a gasket leak and as to that product never used it.

A "CAN" of Seafoam? That's WAYYYY too much. Read the directions.

i think your only supposed to use something like 4 oz of seafoam to a full tank, i used it in my gas and my crank case( watch oil if in crank case) and never had it smoke or anything, when i changed my oil black cunks came out, and the bike didnt smoke it just smelled weird untill i filled it up w gas again, but hey it worked. :thumbsup:
