Can injectors be cleaned?
 
Im still having problems with fueling. Ive changed the fuel pump but no luck so i stripped the old one down and found the sealed filter was a state.

This has now made me think the problem could be my injectors maybe one stuck open.

Is there a way of cleaning them out or should i buy a replacement on ebay?

Yeah.
I remember when i used to have a 200sx, the guys on the forums would send them off to get some sonic cleaning and flow testing. I think it was a load of ******** most of the time, but they did love to spend a **** load on all kinds of silly stuff.

You can buy injector cleaner fuel additive.Ive no idea if it works or not though as I have carbs on all my bikes.

would try the reddex additive prior to sonic cleaning!

The best thing also to do is put the reddex in and do a big run to flush the tank through.

Found a place to do them 28 posted to be sonic cleaned which isnt bad but means no bike for 4 days.

you can get it from most petrol stations too mate. If halfords is a bit out of your way try the gas station first.
