I would make a full thread for this.

Question. With these injectors... so it's not required to do replacement?

Some just do it as preventative? Little lost as I haven't ever read about this other than doing rod bearings which is on the maintenance list for us that should be done and good preventative.

I have a 2013

Not that I'm aware of but cheap insurance given that there have been few documented failures on the forum, which automatically implies a much higher failure rate given the limited member community relative to the total number of cars built.

I had an injector stick open on a street bike, it hydrolocked the motor when I went to start it one day. Stripped it down and a cylinder was full of gas up to the throttle body. Recovered it, changed the injectors and the oil and still have the bike, runs fine. Got lucky. Had about 22k miles on it at the time. I don't consider it a normal failure but do believe in changing injectors more for performance but also for preventing catastrophic failures. When they get to be 10 years old and have had 80k miles worth of California shitty gas go through them. At that price like other have said replace them..
