I as well as a few members members here swear by Sea Foam gas additive to keep the engine running at its best.

Seems like you've gotten good answers so far - just wanted to welcome you to ninjette... though, I think you should have a talk with your mom if she really named you poo poo...

haha! thanks for the welcome. i look forward to contributing as much as possible to the forum. i have an '08, but started with an '03 in that same year.
oh, if my mom found out i was calling myself 'poo poo' she'd probably have a sh*tfit!
