Well I can't speak directly about cleaning fuel injectors, but I've used 
Chevron's Techron in my GSX-R750 streetbike to remove some pretty heavy 
intake valve deposits.  The valves had crap deposited on them to about 
1/2 the diameter of the tulip.  I pulled the carbs to inspect the valves 
directly, in case you're wondering.  I used one bottle of Techron in a 
tankful (about 5 gallons) of super unleaded, and ran two tanks of fuel 
this way.  I pulled the carbs again and the deposits were history.  FYI, 
other products on the market I tried didn't do diddly.  Also, the gas was 
the same brands I normally use, so I don't think it was the fuel.

The stuff isn't that expensive so it can't hurt to try it.
