Thats a good question, in cars they use this on the throttle body after disassembling it. But I guess in the case of bikes, it can be added to fuel, no harm could come of it, I assume.

HI Brother,
Ive had similar issues but during the rains....water entering the fuel tank and my bike stalling all of a sudden. Then after a few mins it used to start and work properly. This is usually due to debris like mud and stuff entering the fuel tank. The fuel filter and the fuel pump can be easily cleaned, i clean it myself but i have efficient practise regarding the same coz ive done it for many frens of mine...!! its a complicated job...not coz it is hard...but the fuel pump is expensive. Simple procedure You have to remove all the fuel in the tank with a help of a pipe...then the seat....then the left side panel tucked under the seat...loosen the fuel tank a little from the main bolt attached to the main chasis under the seat. Disconnect the two fuel pipes connecting the fuel pump( remove all connections)...then with 10 number T-Spanner unbolt the fuel pump from the bike...it will be a little diffucult to remove...you may have to stretch the left fairing a little to the outer side to remove it and pull the fuel tank a little to the upeer side. Once it is out....it is supported with a fiber body...under which there is a silver metal body pump. Clean it with petrol properly....then next comes the fuel filter.....it is the small black rubber covered gadget that can be seen from the slit of the front left fairing in between the tank. it has its connection direct to the tank and the next to the fuel pump. the connection to the fuel pump has already been removed...so you need to remove the connection to the fuel tank. It is difficult to reach...to reach it easily you have to remove the whole left front fairing...but now thats more difficult...so try to insert ur hand and get the connection removed. Now you can clean the fuel filter with petrol and air pressure....do not tap it on ground to get the mud removed...it may damage it...!! once done with everything.....connect all the gadgets as removed...be sure with connections once you do them.....Connect it...!! Now you may also clean the fuel tank with a cloth and a big screwdriver (the desi style) be carefull with the fuel gauge level rod inside the fuel tank....!! once done...fill in clean petrol....wait for 5 mins....insert the key and press the ignition...!! Voila.....keep the engine idle for a 10 mins....!!! this should solve your issue....!!
Along with it you may also clean air filter..that is connected under a black panel at the same side of the bike...!! DO NOT WASH IT!!!! just clean it with air pressure...!!!

PS: Preferably take it to the SVC or any reputed mechanic to get this done...the intention of this post is not to encourage you guys to try it at home..but to give you information so you know what is being done when the Mechanic is doing it...!!!

Cheers....!!
Ride Safe...!!

Thanks for the inputs psr sir.

I dug up the thread and found one relevant post from padfootmonty regarding injector cleaning.


Read it here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...tml#post884992

The Fuel Pump in ZMR sits below the tank at almost on the casing level on the left hand side(gear shifter) of ZMR...if you remove the side cover you will see a big round part which is the Fuel Pump...
It is best to leave cleaning of injector to the SVC, else try "System G "(BP)additive in petrol...it is a good product and actually works in keeping the injector and fuel path clean.

What is system G additive....

One thing i would like to share...way back 2.5 years back..during 4th service....the SVC suggested to put a Engine oil additive ,,,maker i think was 3M....after that slowly and slowly my bike engine become harsh...smoothness gone...which i struggle to get it rectify this year only....

i assume this kind of stuff are not good for bikes..at least in ZMR...

I will not be using my bike for the next 2 months. What are the other storing procedures to be done apart from removing the battery terminals?

Removing the fuel would be a good option too...

I guess this is how it is practically.. but y is it that they say the bike should never be in Reserve?? Nowadays I fill the Tank, but prior to this my bike always was in Reserve as I didn't take her out often before I left my BPO job... I mean.. I used to take her out twice a week, but still was always in Reserve.. yet never faced an issue with the Fuel Pump.. Please tell me how it affects the Fuel Pump if the bike is in Reserve.. Theoretically what Divya says can be a reason.. but practically what you are saying is correct.. but still don't understand how this works.. lol.. Dumb Question I guess.. don't laugh at me guys

Outside fuel were used in older times...But now most of all the fuel pumps are intank ones. They are more shorter then outer ones and efficient.

Can you please verify again that ZMR don't have intank fuel pump ?

AFAIK, all modern vehicles have the fuel pump inside the tank. Hence, I thought the same for ZMR as well.

+1.

Remove the battery as well as dispose off the old unused oil before starting the bike next time. Not only does old oil vaporize, it creates a layer of varnish like material and also loses its octane value with time.

I am using STP FI cleaner got from Reliance Autozone, I use about 50ml with a full tank fuel once in 3000kms. Though the recommended interval on the container is much more, thought for Indian conditions, 3000kms is fine.

Do this product actually clean the injector...what difference have you find after use of cleaner...

I don't think that's a good idea. After removing the fuel if any of my family members get a wild idea to start it then its gonna be a big mess of the pump.

Exactly the same question I was gonna put up..



:P :P might not be a good idea.. but what is the use of fuel in the tank when you remove the battery terminals?? :P :P the bike is not gonna start either way or is it?

Probably fate of the Fuel pump so it went kaput


PSR sir has replied above. If you people need I can post the photos. ZMR uses the same fuel tank as ZMA except an extra fuel out line to the fuel filter (Cost cutting to the highest possible way) .
