I hope this is not a repeat - I did a search but could find close to nothing.

Any comments on pros and cons of using regularly (say, every 6000 miles or so) Techron or similar combustion-chamber-carbon-deposits-reducing agents in modern (that is,fuel injected) Guzzi engines?
 
I put the whole 8 OZ ST brand gas cleaner into my 07 Norge from Wally World hoping it would clean up some of the pinging I was having... It worked for the most part !
YMMV...:^)

200 cc of Techron in a Griso tank (4.3ish gal) sounds about right?

I don't have a bottle of Techron here. What do the instructions on the bottle advise?
 
Techron is in our gas at our Chevron stations and Chevron is also the only place I can 94 octane gasoline with out ethanol. My 2008 Norge seems happy with it.

Instructions on Techron botlle (about 300 ml) say to use in tanks with a capacity of up to 15 gals

300ml / 15 gal = 100ml / 5 gal

Then again, let me stress that the Techron instructions are quite lax, suggesting that 300 ml are fine for tanks UP TO 15 gallons...
