id wait for roger rt seen a few comments from him about this.
Ive read Roger's thoughts on this and as I understand it he feels that the benefits are only very definite if your existing injectors are mismatched or needing cleaned. While this may make sense on paper you cant argue with the sheer number of people reporting immediate, real world improvement. In fact, its almost unanimous. The EV14 injectors have a different spray delivery than the old EV1 ones meaning better atomisation also - unless im mistaken.
While having your own injectors cleaned may improve things, for me id rather spend a little more and have the newer tech with professionally matched injectors.
I don't mean to be the grinch that stole Christmas, but here is my take.
--Both vendors are providing a good service, matching injectors.
--Matched injectors, maintained with periodic cleaning are as important as a TB sync for engine smoothness.
--An enchanced spray pattern, in a cold engine, may improve starting.
--Even dozens of glowing reports don't carry much weight for me. I remember the US IIceAir product. Hundreds of glowing reports, from R1150 & R1200 riders, inspite of temp shifting not working and not even a temp shift on the R1200 due to a design error.
--One benefit of the injectors, faster turn on time, will temporarily richen the mixture at small to mid throttle openings and that will be noticed initially. Over time though, it will be corrected by the long term trims of the Motronic.
--As for better atomization, I don't know, probably a cold start benefit. At all times, the fuel for each cylinder is sprayed in two shots, one with the intake valve open and the other during the exhaust stroke with the intake valve shut.
As I said at the beginning, no issue with the vendors, they seem to be doing a good job.
