MMO is well discussed on the web. Some people swear by it and others swear at it, but make up your own mind. Amounts to use are;
4 - 6oz to 10 gallons of gas. In engine oil, about 100 miles before an oil change, drain out 1 pint of old oil and replace with 1 pint of MMO. Add half a pint to the new oil when changing. I never used it at every change, only every second one. Don't use it at all in fully synthetic oil as that oil doesn't form sludge or gum in the first place.
The MSDS sheet shows three ingredients in MMO: chlorinated hydrocarbons, mineral spirits, amd napthenic hydrocarbons. The chlorinated hydrocarbons would help break up carbon deposits. Mineral spirits help dissolve varnish (oxidized oil). I suppose napthenic hydrocarbons would also act like a solvent. I always suspected that prolonged use of MMO weakend the oil seals and eventually you get leaks. I wouldn't bother using it in the fuel at all as carbon isn't an issue these days. Different story in our parents time (MMO has been around as long as Count Dracula), but I would reccomend using it in your GL1100. I did for a long time and when I changed oil the old oil looked as clean as the new oil!
