Injector$

Well, after sitting in storage for 6 years my '05 VFR800 was not in good shape. Due to circumstances beyond my control fuel was left in the tank. After purchasing a new fuel pump, filters, etc. and having the tank acid washed and coated, it is looking like I may have to purchase new injectors because the old ones are not playing nice. My local Honda shop is currently trying propane and has ordered a new shop tool called a injector pulser?? If neither of those solutions work, I will have to purchase replacements. Sooo, my question is does anyone have suggestions on sticking with expensive OEM or are there any available aftermarket injectors that could be cheaper than the expensive Honda OEMs? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

for an 05 WHY !!!! Send them off to be cleaned - that transforms them.

 

Yes have them cleaned, the service should include a flow report......

 

I bought a 1% flow matched set from Factory Pro for my 06. Not sure if they still have them. $180 a set with exchange.

 

OK injectors are sent off to RCInjectors to be cleaned. Wish me luck and hopefully I'll be back in the saddle soon!

 

Got the injectors back from RC...summary report is attached. Looks like they cleaned up pretty good. Hopefully this is the last of the problems and I'll be riding again soon.

 

Can't argue with that report... They will work just fine - lol

 

Your diagnosis was correct, and they needed it! They should work just fine now!!

 

Just for "kicks and giggles", what did the cleaning cost?

 

$100 for cleaning ($25 ea) + $14.50 for return postage + $26.50 for me to send them priority.

 

Aaaaand finally after 142 days in the shop here is the result:

So glad to be back in the saddle again after a 7 year break.

Anyone care to guess the mileage on this?

 

48k - looks like its missed some love - lol

 

Well yes it HAS missed some love but believe it or not I just turned over 7K miles. It just barely broken in.
