Valve cleaning product.

Hello there,
has anyone used one of these valve cleaning products? The ones that come in a bottle and you add to the fuel...
I think I have some deposit on one of the valves and don't have time to pull the bike apart, are they worth a try?

It's a XTZ660 3YF by the way.

I've used Redex on car engines; great fun to pour some into each cyl neat, and watch the smoke that it makes when burning off.
Or just mix it with the fuel in the tank, but that does not make the same smoke signals.
