    Default Brands of Injector Cleaner not to be used in BRP Fuel System?

    Just completed a 1200km trip and think my '17 RTL could do with some injector cleaner. I don't know if BRP have their techs add any at specific service intervals but with my RTL at 64000kms I think it needs it.

    I recall many moons ago (1980's/90's) of a product that didn't play nicely the fuel lines made of certain materials, or after market fuel filters whose casing was bonded with a certain goo, in each case the collected material was delivered nicely into your injector. Poor atomization was no longer a problem cause the injectors blocked completely. As much fun as this sounds to experience I'd rather pass on this experience

    Are there any brands of injector cleaner that you guys know of that shouldn't be used in the Spyder fuel system, alternatively are there any your recommend?

    I have used Techron without issues, based on BMW recommendations. With my luck it's Can-Am melting fluid...

    I have used Berryman's B12, Startron. and Marvel Mystery Oil (for top end lube) and had good success with all of them.
    I just noticed you are in Australia ,so I don't know if any of these are available there.

    I would not have any worry's about using about anything, if they work in cars, it's fine for your bike! I use Seafoam, Techron, Amsoil!

    Old video but looks like Castrol make this stuff or did.
    Whatever they hang some crap on some of the opposition so if true wouldn't use any of them.
    I use it in my outboard, mower, chainsaws etc with no ill effects but mainly for the long term storage protection it offers.
    Never had an injector problem in various bikes cars etc so haven't seen the need to use it for that reason.
    Water in fuel can be cleared with a dose of methylated spirits if needed so I've used that before.

    I have used Techron for many years. Wally World sells their own that is made by STP, also good stuff. In head to head testing. The Yamaha Fuel Med came out on top. No, I don't have the link. Basically use what is easiest to obtain. Tom

    Run Chevron with Techron. Has worked in my fuel injected engines since 1985. No fuel system problems to date.
