I was just reading an ebook about improving mileage and found a link to fitch fuel catalyst website.
more hp, torque and mileage just by dropping two mini-missiles in the tank?
there are some very positive reviews on their site  - it sounds nice but... too good to be true?
did anyone try it on a triple? if so, post your personal review!

me too I'm a pure skeptical  :hat10 , but being those objects on the market in the last decade (without disappearing), and having read a few independent magazine reviews (cars, motorbikes, trucks) giving positive feedbacks, I was curious to hear from the TT members of eventual personal experiences

Just proves there are many suckers out there. If it was that easy, why do fuel companies pay mega bucks to their chemists?

They do two things, one, make the Tiger even more top heavy, two, they part you from your hard earned cash. Steer clear. Or better yet get the seller to explain the catalytic process to you, if he's genuine he should be able to, I guarantee he wont be able to

They work on the same bases as crystal therapy, homeopathy etc.

1. Nobody likes to think they've been taken for a mug, so will subconsciously ascribe improved performance after "treatment".

2. Mpg, performance, health all change all the time. With the latter, most non-terminal conditions eventually get better on their own, so people "think" it was the intervention that "cured" them.

3. There are (and have always been) plenty of charlatans ready and waiting to take the suckers' hard-earned.

just to add hot spices to this discussion...
would be fun to talk to people from university of connecticut labs - if only they'd exist, of course!
