Re: injector cleaner
I wouldn't bother unless your fueling is sluggish and you were needing a fuel injector service. If you use 100 octane fuel every 2nd or 3rd fill, it does help to keep the injectors clean and may even unclog gummy injectors provided the gumming isn't extreme. When I owned a servo, we'd use the wynns injector cleaner on customers cars and it would sometimes unclog some gumming. Many times it was useless. If you are so inclined, I'd remove the injectors and clean them one by one using a carbie cleaner. Just be sure to remove any O-rings and rubber parts first. Otherwise remove them all and take them to an injector service place, they will charge you less for not having to R&R.
Cheers mate.

Re: injector cleaner
If you wanted to you could put in a tank of 98 every so often as most 98's (if not all) carry some kind of detergent to help keep things clean. It's understood that some of the 98's will react unfavorably with injector cleaners. I've not heard of 95's doing this tho.
I think it's more important to keep water/condensation out of the tank (and bark in your case) and keep the fuel filtered and clean.
There is some talk that running a good 2 stroke oil that is made for watercooled engines in small amounts (greater than 200:1) can keep things glean also but I can't confirm anything yet and am not totally sure of other pro's/con's of doing so.
