    well to start off dont realy have much time to ride and the poor bike sat for a couple of weeks have a battery tender hooked to it so it keeps a charge while sitting .. seems like the injectors are clogged up cause it will start and run down the road with no problem but when i give it a twist of the throatle it boggs down and missfires have tried liquide injector cleaners, and it stays the same . could drain the tank and purge the system add injector cleaner and new fuel .. is it a waste of time. or just replace the injectors clean the fuel pump

    That sounds like a spark plug or plug wire. Get some seafoam, they sell it at most auto parts stores. Run 3oz to a full tank for a fuel issue. It could also be a bad battery, take it to a auto parts store and have them load test it. It my say its charged but a bad cell will reek havoc on a fuel injected bike.

    Just because its on a tender doesn't mean its absolutely trustworthy. It needs to be Load tested. Easy things first.

    NGK Iridiums (Pt# DCPR9EIX) - Awesome plugs! Change them, or at the very least, pull & check.

    finally found the culprit . a while back problem turned out to be the two rubber sleeves that attach to the filter ends .. seems that the pump wasn't able to build up enough pressure for the injectors . thanks to all that gave their input on the matter ..
