Re: R1150RT Smooth acceleration - NOT

Problem solved. I took the bike to a real mechanic and he traced the fault back to a broken LT wire (green/black I think he said) in the loom under the tank. Apparently the loom containing this wire does a 180 turn on itself on the left hand side just before it crosses over to the right side of the ...

Re: R1150RT Smooth acceleration - NOT

After a major service at 90k, I dropped the bike back (at 93k) for a TB sync check as its again hestitant on acceeleration and intermittently missing a beat. The TB sync apparently was fine so I had them replace all throttle cables. Now, after riding for a week, the acceleration is again hestitant.....

Re: R1150RT Smooth acceleration - NOT

Grrrrr......no luck. I waited and waited for the 90k service and had a new o2 sensor fitted. The bike is a dream for a couple of hundred K before the problem reappears. I've noticed that until it reaches normal operating temperature, it intermittently (variable period of seconds) misses a beat and w...

Re: R1150RT Smooth acceleration - NOT

When you twist the throttle for 'normal' easy acceleration, there appears only a very very slight hesitation in response, not enough to be c...

R1150RT Smooth acceleration - NOT

I have a 2004 RT and has just undergone a head reset, new iridium plugs, new TPS, major service and yet it still has an irregular pull when you open the throttle fully. I doubt its fuel related as I've got thru several tanks since. Apart from throwing a bank at it, BMW seem to have run out of ideas....
