Clean injectors off bike with brake cleaner?

[KhandyRhedBhusa]

I am about to do this in the morning when I wake up. Anyone think this is a bad idea?
I had a problem i thought was my coils, which different ones seems to make my problem less, but slightly. I think its really clogged injector, next will be replacement fuel pump.

I would send them out and have them cleaned and tested. You can take all 4 of them off in about 5 minutes...after you have the airbox off.

Check with one of the board sponsors first, if they can't help...send them to these guys.

How much of a demand is there for this ultrasonic cleaning of fuel injectors? ???

I dont think you should clean your injectors with brake parts cleaner,some brands can harm or even break down certain grades of plastic

Spudley turned me on to these dudes when I had the same problem as you describe. They did a great job and they did it quickly. Not a problem since. Thanks again Spud!

as posted above... "DONT DO IT" there is no way any home garage (or most commercial for that matter) that can clean injectors.. it is a chemical/ultrasonic process..

Best option is to exchange for a set of "flow matched" injectors (usually within 2% of each other, race quality is 1%)

The best method for cleaning injectors is periodic injector cleaning via fuel additives BEFORE they have a problem.. BTW... doing this on older bikes? this can also clean the tank and plug filters and screens upstream of the injectors..

Ok great! I will send to the RC guys. I actually youtube this stuff before I posted.
and saw videos including the one from RC on the cleaning. A friend just said i could clean them myself, but i saw the videos myself. its waaaaaaaaaaaay more productive and extensive when they clean it. Now since i only have the bike to ride, i have to wait till he finds the injectors from his other busa so i can drop those in, meantime.
thanks for the tip!

Mention you are a member of the .ORG and get 10% off with RC as well. Good luck and you will love the flow/spec sheet you get with your balanced injectors.
