You are just feeding more carbon too it. 99% of the oil falls out oil in the air from vent gas.
It does run down and give that impression.
Front side of throttle body is clean. Behind back side is from the charge left from the fuel injection left in intake when you cut it off. What you are saying is tin man BS.

Redline fuel system cleaner
Some years back BMW did extensive testing of fuel system additives / cleaners and found that most did not clean fuel injectors. This
is one of the few that did but be careful - using more than one ounce per gallon may harm your O2 sensors. I buy the larger auto size
and use it twice a year - CA gasoline is the worst imo.

Never spray any cleaner ***** nilly in the throttle body. There are sensors that that black crud once dissolved in that fine liquid and it will blow un into temperature sensor, past the o-ring in the IAC valve or into the TPS and when it dries, they will fail.
Put it on a clean cotton towel, and carefully clean around the butterfly. Just a tad on the pintle valve tip.
Never ever put anything in fuel tank except gas. Unless it sits over a year. Then only enough carefully measured for a full tank of gas which also should be in there. An FI system from tank to fuel injectors is totally sealed. and will never dry out.

Ok so the bike sat for about 2 years I drained the gas put brand new premium gas and brand new battery in it and it starts up but sound like it's running lean and is giving me codes for map sensor and o2 sensors. Is there anything I can clean the map sensor with without having to remove it completely its held in place by a peice I dont want to remove( it holds the throttle cables.)
