I recently bought my daughter a 2011 883 iron. It only had 1100 miles on it. My question is what is the best thing to put and run through the tank to clean the injectors? Thank you ahead of time

Lucas or more or less any injector cleaner on the shelf.
Not sure why you would want to, top tier gas (most name brand premium) already has detergent in it.
What's the issue that makes you think injector cleaner is needed?

Nothing wrong with it, runs fine, I just didn't know if anyone ran any cleaner through there tank to keep them clean, and no way would I ever put seafoam in anything I own, thanks

I don't know what brand of fuel you like to use, but you can check online and see if it meets the Top Tier spec. If it does, then nothing else is needed.

You asked. Been using it for years, no ill effects. I don't use it as stabilizer, alcohol breaks down certain rubbers and plastics. But as a quick clean, nothing works better.

Maybe they did, but doubt it with only 1100 miles on it, I have researched seafoam and the things I see I don't care for, didn't mean to upset anyone that does use it, if it works for you, then keep using it, I just prefer not to. I always run 93 octane in it, we don't have 91 around here so it is 93 for me. I will just leave it alone, and ride it from time to time, my daughter is only 14 and cant ride it yet so I will take it out for a ride to keep everything in working order, thanks for all the help

Not sure you upset anybody. That statement just makes your original question a bit confusing.
You asked about an additive to clean fuel injectors. Seafoam is generally considered to be top of the line stuff, if you use it correctly. If you don't want to run Seafoam through it, that's fine. I was just curious why you would consider running ANYTHING through the system but not Seafoam.
Are you related to any of the Frankenstein family out that way? Its alive, Its alive......%[email protected]
What would soak em in. Denatured alcohol work?

Why would soak em. No run work?
PS: I don't talk like this but it seems so many folks do now days so this is an Xperiment.
Bested I can do with two fingers and no eyes Should both injectors be replaced or can I replace one at a time

Since you didn't give any information, symptoms or details about the issue, I'll give a generic answer to your questions, "Should both injectors be replaced or can I replace one at a time?" yes and yes. Good luck, It's going to be fun working on injectors with two fingers and no eyes. I bet riding a scooter is a bitch.

I'm gonna have to use this on my wife. "Darling, you know the toy Electra Glide we got little Jimmy? Well, he wants a real one now. I'll take him on rides and keep it in good shape for when he gets old enough.....
