Hey all - this may sound like a stupid question, but since it doesn't look like it has been asked on here yet - here it goes:

Fuel Injector Cleaner: Good thing or Bad Thing for FI'd motorcycles? :?

If "good thing" --- what about the amount that goes into a tank? Most of those bottles are designed for 10-25 gallon tanks --- not 4.5. Do I simply 1/2 the bottle --- or "powerscrub" the injectors by throwing in the whole bottle?

Inquiring (and mechanically inept) minds want to know!

1. It should be just fine for your injectors. Though things are so easy to get to on a bike, if your injectors are really that dirty, just pull them and have them ultrasonically cleaned. The chemicals are good, but physically vibrating the gunk off will have them like new.

2. I'd use about 1/2 bottle at the most. Some of that stuff comes in a non-resealable can though, so maybe get someone else with a bike to pay half and just split it with you, and go get gas together or something.
