| I assume that "85 kilometers" is a misprint. However I don't recall anyone posting that they've needed fuel injectors ultrasonic cleaned. Before you go to the aggravation and expense of ultrasconic cleaning why not try a fuel additive. I don't know whether this product is available in the EU but this is what is frequently used in the US to clean injectors. https://www.chevronlubricants.com/en_US/products/products/techron-concentrate-plus-fuel-system-cleaner.html#.W2W6rOv3arU I'm sure that something similiar is available in the EU.
What makes you think that the injectors need cleaning, anyway?

| +1 on Seafoam. Do BG products make it overseas? Those are also excellent. |

| Why waste time/money. Bike running fine leave it alone. I rode 2 purchased new SilverWings to near 50,000 miles each (80,000km) with no injector trouble. Just to make myself feel good on trips, every 1000 miles tried tank of Super Shell gas. |

| Techron is also good. Cleans fuel sender, injectors and removes carbon from intake valves- pistons- combustion chamber. 1oz per gallon 12oz treats 3 tank fulls. Sorry already posted DUH |
