One of the most commonly overlooked, hardest working and critically important components on your motorcycle is your fuel injector. We can’t count the number of times in helping someone diagnose a hair pulling endlessly frustrating driveability problem it’s turned out to be an issue with the injector.



Did you ever chase your tail with jetting issues on a carb bike? It’s the exact same thing with an injected bike just dealing with different components and the key to everything in FI is the injector.



SYMPTOMS OF A DIRTY, CLOGGED LEAKING FAULTY OR BAD FUEL INJECTOR

Starting Issues
Poor or erratic idle
Wet spark plugs
Raw fuel smell at muffler tip
Poor power and performance
Engine fails to reach high RPM
Increased fuel consumption
Rough engine performance
Surging and bucking under various throttle loads
Engine knock or detonation which can lead to serious engine damage


CAUSES OF INJECTOR PROBLEMS

Contaminants in the fuel
Phase separation of ethanol fuels
Mechanical wear and tear


HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY INJECTOR BE CLEANED

Some riders will have them cleaned annually as part of a routine maintenance program
Some race teams will clean and test them before every race to ensure absolute top engine performance
Whenever any of the above mentioned symptoms occur
100-150 hours of use


HOW IT WORKS

Once you’ve ordered a cleaning service we’ll email you a shipping call tag. Pack your injector in a plastic bag then into a suitable shipping container, attach the label and deliver to the carrier.

Once we receive your injector we’ll establish a set of ‘before’ baseline values by checking its electrical status against OEM specification then test its flow rate and spray pattern before we perform the following:

Hot fluid ultrasonic cleaning to breakup and remove deposits and contaminants from the nozzle, pintle and valve chamber
Purge flow the injector in both directions to eject contaminates and clogs from the inlet filter screen and valve unit
Perform pressurized leak test
Final clean the injector and test it’s flow rate a second time to establish its ‘after’ volume output condition and ensure its fully within spec in every way. Data from each step is recorded and emailed for your maintenance records.
If the injector fails any of these tests we’ll contact you to discuss repair or replacement options.



MULTIPLE INJECTORS

If your bike has multiple injectors we’ll ensure each is flowing within 3-5% of each other or contact you to make arrangements to obtain a balanced set.



TIME LINE

Most injectors are rehabbed and returned in 2-4 business days, however holidays or shop load may impact the turnaround time. If you need to skip the line our Race Rush program will get your injector back out on the same or next business day for $25 with additional cost for overnight shipping if needed.



COST

The injector cleaning service is $50 for the first injector and $45.00 for each additional injector and includes ground service shipping in both directions in the continental US. Additional cost add ons include expedited shipping, expedited cleaning, multiple injector balancing, replacement injectors, manifold sealing ring.

Please email or message us for information regarding any of these

Did you know Patty’s Place works on EVERYTHING?

This Sherco 350 came in for a broken spark plug. After a customer bought this he realized something was off about the bike. Unfortunately this was concealing a seized engine.

Save your money and have Patty’s Place do a pre purchase inspection on any vehicle you are thinking of buying!
