After 26 years I reckon originals should be cleaned and serviced so might as well change them. Spray pattern on the newer Bosch injectors is very fine compared to "squirt" of the older ones.

I know of two injector kit suppliers, Tills and Q-Tech. My earlier got Tills kit but this time I think I will buy a Q-Tech kit. The bracket seems better way of fixing than the long bolts on Tills kit.

I had to investigate an absolute disaster. The heated seat stopped working! I mean if it wasn't for the dirty great big fairing & screen on my R1250RT that diverts most of the cold air away from you, the heated grips, my heated vest, trousers, insoles and gloves, then several woolly layers and a GoreTex suit I might have got cold. It was only a broken connector and BMW relieved me of £22 for a new cable, but at least my nether regions will be warm.

After the 2 years of boredom I said to myself this is getting stupid. So I started to get up at 5:30 again and made jobs for myself. 8 years down the line am now busy more than when I worked. Sometimes it's just little things other times it's like full time with overtime.
By doing this my mental health has gotten better.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you
