    Fuel injection system cleaners, anyone?

    Been reading a BMW F650 forum and there's a product called Sea Foam, that members are using with good sucess. Anyone know of it in NZ or some other brand of injector cleaner?

    Best results are from whipping them out, and getting them ultrasonically cleaned. Best of all, they can measure the spray pattern before and after, so that they can quantify the results.

    yeah I agree , whilst I have used a few variations of injector cleaners over the years on cages, the best solution is to have em out and put on the proper gear where they can measure patterns and flow..

    The bonus of before and after comparisons is you can see (or not see) a quantifiable gain). Plus, generally easy enough to get to.

    So no snake oil, then?

    Cheers, guys. Makes sense to do a full job, but I thought there may have been a worthwhile product.
