1150 running badly
- Thread starter charlieneale
- Start date
Revisit the work done and the components replaced since it was last running OK.
Check that your throttle cables are seated correctly in the throttle bodies, just incase you have disturbed them.

thanks,i will give it a try
What year ?... twin spark or single spark ?
I had this on my twinspark and it was the ignition coils needed replacing.
Have you got an update for us?, have you fixed it, and if so what was the problem
If not do you feel up to answering Steptoe's question, it helps with diagnosing problems knowing which model of bike you have, they are different.
We are here to help.

You should have mentioned that in your first post. The answer to your problem would have been posted within 2 minutes........
The one and only, .... throttle cable dislodge - it even has it's own thread in the " is your bike running rough" section

Didn't we used to have a 21st century pic of this somewhere 
Funny thing that, not quite 2 minutes but 36 minutes. It was mentioned in post 2 second paragraph
