Hello all,
I’ve recently purchased a 2002 VFR 800 (50k km) for dirt cheap off someone who had cracked the crankcase and couldn’t be bothered to have it repaired. This resulted in him leaving it sitting in his yard for just over a year and allowing rust to form in his tank. I managed to replace the crankcase cover and clear 99% of the rust out of the tank as well as replacing the fuel pump assembly, however, I had left the rest of the fuel system as is, After that it was running and riding fine, until I decided to dump some injector cleaner in it of which I used a little too much which caused the bike to stop running. I drained the tank and chucked in a fresh tank of petrol but when I started it it was sputtering and stalling with any blip of throttle and was shooting TONS of fuel out the exhaust so much so that it drained half a tank in about couple mins and made my garage a gas filled bomb waiting to blow. You can see in the photo the mist and even drops of fuel coming out[image: IMG_8856.thumb.png.f284e8cb7126429bcd9f53634ac6afdb.png]
After letting the bike use the rest of the fuel I thought it may be leaky injectors due to something being dislodged when I used the cleaner. I pulled out the whole fuel system but I’m not sure if 1. it’s worth somehow testing them and cleaning somehow or 2. if I should replace them. Or if it’s even the injectors at all and maybe the fuel pressure regulator. I’m no mechanic so any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed they are green injectors which when I researched online are very expensive to replace. So is there any chance the brown ones off the newer models are compatible as they are widely available for me.
Thanks heaps
Tom
