Re: How do I Deal With This 5k RPM Idle?
Tower-yes. The lock nut and adjuster were several mm apart. Once I dialed back into the spec of one mm, and did the same at TB, the 5k idle came back down to about 1k rpm. Still needs some finessing but at least in ballpark. Thx!

Re: How do I Deal With This 5k RPM Idle?
Hey all, thx for the assistance! I double checked the throttle cable and that was WAY off at the bar. Also, I redid the motronic reset. Not sure which cured the ailment (I'm leaning towards the cable) but bike is running its idle right around 1100 rpm. Again thx to community! This weekend, we use ho...

Re: How do I Deal With This 5k RPM Idle?
Thx Hoof. I may try that. Really dont want to dig back into Bowden if I don't have to.

Re: How do I Deal With This 5k RPM Idle?
Thx all! If I pull on the throttle, both plates on throttle bodies open evenly and smoothly. I'm not sure what I can do differently with Bowden box. All seems to work well.
I will take a closer look tomorrow and maybe I'll see something awry based on your help.
I'll keep all posted!

How do I Deal With This 5k RPM Idle?
So I pulled the throttle and choke cables, cleaned out the Bowden box and put all back together. All seemed to work smoothly with engine off, although I know I must do a TB adjustment. I fired her up and the rpms went very quickly up to about 5k. They may have even gone higher but I quickly turned i...

What do you remove to keep the bike from starting when you are testing as it is cranking over?

Re: How Can You Tell if a Cable is Bad
So I cleaned the Bowden box then lubed with silicone spray per Chris Harris and have things placed back together just so I can see what difference the removal and cleaning made. It worked! Not sure exactly what I did with the exception of a good cleaning of all parts but my throttle cable is much ea...

How Can You Tell if a Cable is Bad
So I took out the bowden box and am curious how to tell which cables need replaced? I did this due to throttle cable being hard to twist but should I replace all the cables? All look good with no kinks or frays. I plan on replacing throttle but it's costly to replace others if not needed. The bike i...

Re: $339 for Cables? How Can You Tell if They Need Replaced?
Tower and Swamper, think I can take apart bowden and clean it? Or does it need replaced? Also, how do I tell if cable is bad besides obvious fraying, etc? Thx to both!

Re: $339 for Cables?
Hey Swamper, I was told not to lube that they are teflon. Or do you mean just at the handle bar?

Re: New 2004 R1150R
If previous didn't install quick disconnects in the fuel lines make sure you do. Sooner or later old lines fail, and in my case they were sooner. Plus the gas tank needs to come off for many routine services and this makes it way easier.

$339 for Cables? How Can You Tell if They Need Replaced?
Hey all- so from my previous post on my throttle being hard to twist, I took the group's advice and removed the bowden box and all 4 cables. Not fun, but not horrible either. Next question, to replace all 4 cables and box is $339! While replacing the throttle cable makes sense, can I just take apart...
