I put a big dose of injector cleaner in yesterday and went for a 200km rip up country, this morning 9-degees, the bike started and quickly picked up reves, no conking out. fouled injectors for sure for sure. No doubt if you cain your bike to work every day you don't get the problem but for this old guy who rarely gets it over 8000 rpm and rides only twice a week on average they can clog up.

I read in a review that they upgraded the injectors in the G2 by adding a lot more holes, probably smaller? It could add to the fouling effect perhaps. Anyway I will make it a point to throw a dose through before every long ride, every few months for me. I don't like the idea of the shit sitting in my tank and fuel system for weeks on end but I added it to a half empty tank and filled up again when it was nearly empty.

Another thing I noticed this morning when the bike was warmed up was that I could hold it easily at 3000 or 4000 rpm (sorry neighbours) and the taco didn't hardly move. Before yesterday it would jump up and down a bit all the time. I though it was unbalanced throttle bodies. The amateur was wrong.

I bought one the other week , there's a little wind noise (particularly if you turn your head) but not too bad.
Wish I hadn't gone for the mat black one , have already scratched the paint.
Was going to buy a Reeview but it didn't fit me properly.

Keep an eye on your oil because you may have increased deposits in there that will require an oil change, mine does!
What did you use? I used Redline Si-1, you get 3-4 tanks from a bottle

I just wait until the oil is on special at places like autobarn and stock up on 5 or 6 packs. The guy that runs suspention improvements here in briso (used to be head mech at honda in moss st) told me he puts any old oil in his. Even deisel oil. That was enough to break my fetish for $60 oil.

Of course if I regularly redlined my bike I might need the extra protection the botique stuff purportedly gives.
