Default Fuel injection system, Air intact duct locations on pointy?

OK I'm about to wash my bike for the first time, and in the service manual it says to avoid water flow or spraying on the fuel injection system, and air intact duct.

Please don't bash me head in when I ask where exactly are these places located at? So I can avoid them.

Thank you

Air intakes under the petrol tank.

Fuel injectors are between the V.

Normal washing won't hurt them where they are, just don't submerge your bike in water

And if the snorkel is still on it's almost impossible to fire water down the intake.

Stay away from using lots of water pressure as you'll wash it into the electrics and cause a nightmare later down the line.

Or washing for that matter, you could better spend the time going to the pub.
