Not me but here's a link I found that lists several uses. I've read on different bike forums about using it from the gas tank to the crankcase and all the arguments in between.

Personally, I just don't think I would want to put it in the oil unless I was getting ready to change it.

I used it on my 94 when I first bought it. It did work but the oil was like water when I drained it out. I didn't leave it in but just for a short amount of time. It will clean your valve covers around the rocker arms, etc.. very good. Just watch your oil pressure while you are running it.
