    As per title have a 675 Daytona fuel injected which as of today has hyrolocked with right cylinder fuel of fuel - almost blinded meself after pulling plugs when it cranked over and bounced the fuel off the screen straight back into my mince pies - still stinging hours later.
    I am however confused - bike been standing for months, had 10 x fresh litres e5 in tank - started off the button on all 3 cyls then went to 2 & started smoking then cut out (as I thought - but obviously the starter click was it hydrolocking so just hope the rod didnt bend...).
    Can anyone explain clearly how that much fuel - and it was a LOT could accumulate in the cylinder, without going out the exhaust port, so fast via the injector to cause this? I understand with carbs & manual fuel taps but not this. This now seems clear to me this was the same problem last year when I decided it was the starter that had gone - took me few weeks to replace and did plugs/oil at same time so any fuel must have drained to sump by then.

    Fuel is usually delivered to the injectors at anything between 40-60 psi. That pressure can deliver a lot of fuel very quickly if an injector goes bad and on the compression stroke there is nowhere for it to go as the valves will be closed, cue hydraulic lock.
    You need to pull the injectors and at the very least, bench test them or, better still, get them professionally tested/calibrated.
