What year is your bike? Did you clean the IAC valve in the throttle body?
Just spray some cleaner in it while activating it on and off with your ignition switch.

I wouldn't use it as a cleaner for injectors or carb. There are various sprays at the auto parts stores specifically for cleaning injectors/carbs.
