M900ie fuelling

Anyone happen to know what voltage the injectors run on?

After a few weeks off the road the old 'bus' fired up on one cylinder only.
I have sparks but a 'damp' plug on the front cylinder.

About to fit new fuel filter, air filter and ignition coils for the SUMMER.

Thanks, Chris

Wow thats pretty organised, its Jan the 1st and you're already getting it together for summer! I wonder when and how long it will be this year?

I had the same issue with my bike - bad starting, front cylinder backfire & wet plug. Cleaned all the connections, changed the plugs but the problem continued. Dealer checked all the electrical system inc coils & relay starter connections etc etc. Everything checked out OK, except the charging system. I have a Mossfet reg/ rec fitted now. I don't know if that was a part of the problem as the awful weather means the bike is hibernating and hooked up to a Ctek optimiser. Still it does start immediately on the button which is good! Feb/ March will reveal whether the fault remains or if it was weak spark from marginal battery voltage.

Happy New Year Chris.
