Are motorcycle fuel injectors hard to repair?

Question

I am planning to buy a 1999 ducati Superbike750 motorcycle and the guy says that the only thing wrong with it is the fuel injectors need looking at. Once the bike gets warmed up they start to act up. Is this hard or expensive to repair and is it the fuel injectors or is it something bigger and what would be a good price for the bike?

Is it expensive to replace the fuel injectors.

Answer 1

I don't think the injectors would act up when the engine warms up.
Either they work, or they don't. And it's unlikely they would all go bad at the same time.
Seems more likely the electronics that control the injectors are faulty.
I'd get the problem diagnosed before purchasing the bike.

Answer 2

hi, i am in agreement with the last answer, make sure it is the injectors that are the trouble. replacing injectors is fairly easy, a little expensive on ducati. what is meant by acting up? there is no way to tell exactly what is wrong without actually seeing the bike but some of the older duc's had electrical trouble that happened upon warm up. couldn't tell you a price though , again with out seeing the bike. all i can say is be careful, ducati's are extremely expensive to repair so check it out before you buy.

Answer 3

Chances are it's not the injectors. if when it's warmed up it does this.. that doesn't seem right. Not horrible hard to replace, it's just on the fuel rail.. but ducati's are juuuunk

Answer 4

Pull the injector and clean it, or replace it. Not very hard if you have some mechanical ability

Answer 5

take it to a shop first

Answer 6
