Re: Inconsistent output

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. The bike has over 26,000 on her and was supposed to have been fully tuned up by the dealer before I picked her up a few months back. This is my first R1150 and I was worried something was wrong, but it's sounding like this is very common and sort of a quirk o...
