Don't understand your question. What is "beachside"?

Better to do some actual diagnostics.... than to just throw parts at it....

But to answer your question, the OEM injectors for your bike should be #27609-01B and are 4.3s (double check before you buy any). In any case, you want to replace the injectors with the same size that is in their now... If you change the injectors, from what is listed in your tune, without retuning for the new injectors, you can (probably will) cause damage to the engine...

I’m not 100% sure that it was just carbon build up or bad gas fuel injector cleaner got me back home and after about 30 miles with the cleaner in there it was running better. The last year or so it’s just run ok not great so thinking change them and see what happens. I will use the stock 4.3 when I do them

Bad (varnished) gas is very uncommon nowadays. Water and debris contamination is mush more prevalent. If the injector cleaner worked, you may want to try some fuel treatment products like stabil. Not only does it treat your gas but it keeps all the little passages clean. What exactly was the bike doing?

I couldn’t get it over 4000, no real power, I think it leaned out bad enough to run hot and I could smell something like hot oil on the left side of the motor. Used 3 gallons of gAs in 60 miles. Now my mileage has been running in the mid to low 30’s
