Default Injector install question.

I need to install some 5.5 injectors for my new cam. Is this something i can do in my garage? How difficult is it? Does the whole manifold need to come out? I was looking for a YouTube install video for it but couldn’t find anything.

May want to include what year and model bike you are working on to get the best answer.

I did this a few months ago on M8 Heritage. I did not have to remove anything other than gas tank, and then you can remove and install the injectors.

Good idea to install a SE intake if you're going to be removing enough parts to access the injectors.

Why? you only have to to remove the fuel tank and maybe a couple of ti-wraps.
