Going Overground
Since a run out on Saturday which included a section of 'hard acceleration', my 2003 R1150GSA (50K) is not quite right. When running with open throttle all is good and it accelerates as expected, but as soon as you come off the throttle it sounds like it's like it's running on one cylinder, but not quite (I'm sure one of these things running on one pot would result in immediate panic and darting for the next layby). It idles OKAY, though if a little rough, but this may be down to the Y-Piece and Remus pipe.
I've had a hunt around the interweb which pointed me towards the Coil Packs, but I've just tried the test of unplugging each in turn while the engine is running and both side have a significant impact on the running - the right hand side caused it to die, while the left hand side would have done the same if I hadn't stuffed it back in quickly - from that I take it both are working as expected - Is this a correct assumption????
It also seems to be using a little more oil than normal - though again, I've only had it for about 4,000 miles so still not 100% used to "its little ways".
w
I've ordered all the bits to give it a service (4 x plugs, filters etc) which I'll get done in a couple of weekends time, but if this may help I'll do it ASAP.
Any ideas what this could be - I've not had chance to get up-close and personal with another R1150GS owner to compare notes which would help me determine what is 'normal' or not.
Many thanks.
