Hello, Pete!
If your bike has been sitting and it behaves like Keith's, It could be
the injectors gummed up with "varnish" (not a clue what the British word
for varnish), old gasoline. We have a GREAT product for cleaning
injectors called Redline SI-1 (Spark Ign).
http://www.redlineoil.com/redlineoil/si1ti.htm
Redline makes excellent synthetic lubricants. If you can find this
stuff it will clean your injectors. It is the only in-tank additive
that will. I have not had to use it on my RS, but have in every car
I've owned. It really is as good as they say it is. I work for the
Electric Co., so I have no dog in this fight.
Keith,
If the injectors were leaking, why did they replace the T-bodies?
