Need some help with replacing injectors on the xb.
Bike at the moment is in Sweden and was hoping to get it back to the Uk so i could book it in for Maz to change the faulty injector.
Not really an option now as the insurance won't pay for repatriation.
Something to do with the bike being of less value than the cost to ship it home.

Anyway back on topic,have been doing some searching but failed to come up with much info and the service manual is a bit vague.
Have some questions
Can you get access to the injectors by just rotating the engine?
Pash mentioned X1 injectors,if i replace with these does the map have to be changed?
What else should i replace o rings?

Many thx,sorry for the multiple questions.

No need to rotate the engine to remove the injectors, just a fair bit of hand work and head begging but you get there in the end

Forget the X1 injectors, I was making the point that a tuber (X1) could have failed in the same way...
