OBD fault logs points to an injector issue, I'll try some cleaner tomorrow. For now, no car, had to go get the bread and milk on a bike...

Take apart and remove the injectors, get a spray bottle of fuel injector cleaner and insert it into the intake of the injector, then wire a 12v batter to the two terminals to run the injector ... run it for about 20 seconds like this to completely clean the unit ... do the same for all the other injectors then reinstall

I did this work with my 1998 BMW K1200RS without any special tools because I couldn't get them in time and it worked just fine ... just be careful with disassembly and reassembly ... about a year later, I bought an actual injector cleaner kit to do the work on other vehicles.

Plenty of guides on how to do a simple DIY method without any special tools

Or you could buy a ready made fuel injector cleaning kit for about $50 CAD ($35USD or 30EURO)

Surely that wouldn't work with a diesel injector?

Anyway cars back home now, a friend of a friend had the time and expertise to sort it, and now in return we gotta sort out his new toy, an xt500, I predict lots of cardio induced kickstarting.
