Default Electronic Fuel Injection System

Ok, now that you have opened up the post.

The subject: Electronic Fuel Injection System.

A friend of mine has a 2007 UC, it has 10,000 miles on it. He took it into the dealership for its 10k service. He also explained to them that the bike has been idling rough.

After doing all the work on the bike that they do for a 10k service, he recieved a call from the dealership, that stated he needed to also have them run a fuel injector cleaning unit on his bike. This unit is under pressure and is suppose to clean out his injectors. Apparently one of the injectors was partially clogged. Only after 10k miles that just doesnt make sense to me, and him.

They gave him some selling pitch and stated to him that they recommend this on any bike that has 10k miles on it.

HAVE YOU ALL EVER HEARD OF SUCH OF A THING?

absolutely and probably the MOST effect way to clean injectors. I'd let them work on my bike. With all the trash in most of the service station tanks and crappy filters that aren't monitored correctly I'm surprised our bikes even run.
