Hi folks, so...having had a wee looky on here I'm starting to get an idea of what could be a possible problem and its solution.
My 06 K1200s with circa 13000 miles starts and idles, not terribly smoothly at around 1500-1700rpm... i let it warm up a bit in the mornings before my 10 mile commute and a couple of times it the revs have dropped down and its stalled out.
In the 3000rpm range it runs a little unevenly.
Open throttle in higher revs/cruising its fine (riding it up from nottingham I did notice perhaps a bit vibration over 80mph..so i just sat below that for the run back to aberdeen), however on closed throttle it can pa pa paaa pa pa on engine braking and be jerky.
It was in to get all its recalls done that it hadn't
:
"I am responding to your live chat enquiry to John Clark BMW Aberdeen.
The bike has 5 outstanding quality enhancements/recalls they are for the following :
Replacing relay lever at rear spring strut
Renewing wheel flange
Retrofit, screen insert for reservoir for brake fluid and loose-leaf insert, Rider's Manual
Retrofitting chain guide
Checking fuel-pump unit" (i got a new pump and they recommended new electrics while they were in there so only had to pay for the part)
In a phone call the idling was mentioned that they would have to investigate
I apologise this is all over the place, just trying to get this done before i leave work
for the night.
If i'm honest i might have bought a wee bit of a pig in a poke, given the low mileage and lack of recalls done (the buttons on the switchgear are quite faded compared to others of the same age i've seen)
I've had a wee shot at the normal throttle position sensor (ignition on and open/close the throttle)...not really accomplished anything
My thoughts have been ECU?...and reading here, airbox & ICV. They would seem to be the easist fixes regarding cost/time/fettling
Any and all suggestions welcome.
I'm already watching EBAY for all manner of parts etc...mainly the final drive
... just in case.
What little history i have of the bike shows it getting to 10k miles then slowing down drastically.. and at one point 2 mots have a years gap in between them and its only done 900miles in that time.
i'm Thinking that things were going wrong and it was basically kept but not worked on....then sold on ...and sold on.
Bodywork wise and underneath the fairing its pretty tidy ... only slight signs of rust on obvious bolts.
I'll stop now as i'm confusing myself but any queries , if ive missed anything just ask away.
regards
Dunc
