Have 1200GS 09 non WC. had problems for last few years with snatchy low speed running. Nothing serious just had to keep juggling the clutch and throttle when low speed manoeuvring. To make matters worse my wifes bike, same model year and spec was silky smooth, just ride it on the throttle easy. No amount of tappet setting, balancing throttle bodies, checking coils, plugs, stripped and checked the TPS etc etc made any real difference. Bike runs perfectly otherwise.
Reading another engine running problem post Steptoe mentioned the TPS. Not every faulty one will show up when testing, was roughly what he said. So decided to try a new one.. £149 was a bit of a cost for what was a guess. Bit of research found that the car one is a direct replacement and over a £100 saving! worth a punt.
Been on for about 80 miles and through some shitty weather and a good jet wash (was concerned about waterproofing as a car item) But seems to be working fine. Snatchy/jerky ride at low speed, filtering, manoeuvring big improvement if fact almost gone, will get better still with riding as ECU re learners its adaptations. So here's the link for the Hella one but even cheaper ones with a search.
