Buying a Used Set of Fuel Injectors ? Don’t Assume They Flow Evenly or Have Good Spray Patterns
So last week we had a customer with a 2008 GSXR 600 send some fuel injectors he had purchased from Ebay. His bike was running rough and a mechanic had assured him a faulty fuel injector was to blame. Unfortunately neither of them knew about our fuel injector service and he bought another complete set
Changing Fork Springs on a Yamaha R6 with 25mm Ohlins forks. And Don’t Forget to Service Your Fuel Injectors!
For anyone that is track riding regularly, or racing motorcycles, you will at some point need to change for springs to a softer or firmer rate. It is not that difficult to do if you have the drop in cartridge kit like a 25mm Ohlins system. First, loosen the triple clamp fork bolt. Not doing

So you want a few extra horsepower up top on your Yamaha R6? The air filter snorkel removal is an easy way to get the engine more air. More air, more power. The 3rd generation Yamaha R6 has a “snorkel” on the intake side that was designed to reduce engine air intake noise. This snorkel
KTM Fuel Injector Issues.. resolved with ProFlow
This is more of a testimonial, but we thought it was an informative article at the same time. Early KTM fuel injectors have many, but very small, spray openings, and seem to be more prone to clogs than other model fuel injectors. Even relatively new KTM dirt bikes have had issues with running rough, and

So we got a set of 2005 GSXR1000 fuel injectors in the ProFlow shop the other day for ultrasonic cleaning service. According to the mechanic and shop owner that sent them, the bike did not run horrible, but power seemed to be lower than expected. Sure enough, once on the ASNU machine and the spray patters were visible, a
06-07 vs 08 And Newer R6 Upper Fuel Injectors
Do not make the mistake of mixing upper fuel injectors from the 2006-07 R6, with upper fuel injectors from a 2008 or newer R6. The injectors look exactly the same . The 2006 and 2007 Yamaha R6 looks the same as the 2008 to 2012 R6. It would take a rider or mechanic, who is very familiar with these
Take Care When Reinstalling Your Fuel Injectors..
When reinstalling your injectors, take care that you don’t pinch or fold over the 0-ring. When following up with customers, this happens from time to time, so take the time to ensure it does not happen to you. It makes a mess, and is potentially very dangerous if you can’t quickly shut off the ignition. As a
Storing your Bike, Boat or Car? Protect The Fuel Injectors
If your bike, boat or car is going to sit for a few months, you risk having fuel injectors decrease in flow, or worse, becoming in-operational. Electronic fuel pumps are also at risk when left to sit for months at a time. The ethanol in today’s fuel breaks down and clogs the openings of the fuel injector
Removing Yamaha R6 Fuel Injectors
Removing the fuel injectors for service on a 2006 and up R6 won’t require any special tools, just a couple allen head wrenches, screwdrivers, and a pair of vice grips (not the tiny ones). R6s models or 2003-2005r6 will not have upper fuel injectors but the rest of the procedure for removing the lowers is about
