Do the same experiment but without an air cleaner. I think the injectors should spray one quick shot then wait for cranking. If one just keeps shooting, you found it

You have the quick-disconnect coupling on the tank outlet, right? They have an adapter that snaps onto the QD fitting, with a gauge on it. Probably be as cheap to just buy a new MAP sensor and try it, if you really suspect that is the problem. Unless you can borrow or make an adaptor, or a minute of a techs time.

RE: map sensor question
You are causing it, by interrupting the WARMUP ENRICHMENT Cycle... You are FOULING the plugs, not flooding the motor....
 \\;
Warmup Enrichment restarts when you start up a motor that is cold... Lots of fuel and little more air... If you shut down during, and then Restart, the cycle starts all over again... IE.. MORE THAN ENOUGH FUEL FOR Startup... which results in fouled plugs...

RE: map sensor question
Do the simple things first. Measure the fuel pressure. You can probably get a bike tech to check it for you for a can of soda or a cheeseburger. If the regulator is not properly bleeding off excess pressure, the injectors will be spraying way more fuel than they should. PM me when you have checked the fuel pressure. Then I will know I can look at this thread again, okay?
