1150GS Running on 1 cylinder - HELP !

[antsav]

Ok so i thought i would remove the tank today and fit my new odyssey battery and heated grips..so after a full day getting it all sorted and running cables etc..the bike's only firing on 1 cylinder...any ideas what i might have done before i remove the tank again and start investigating ?? i guess its possible i have disturbed a connecter somewhere but ther's so many under the tank..

Is the right hand side throttle cable come unseated, its the usual problem.

Yep, that's what I'd say too.

Cheers..will go and have a look..

 

[antsav]

All sorted - Cheers guys..

You were correct - somehow the outer r\h throttle cable had pulled up out of the mounting bracket - Many thanks..

Maybe it should be a permanent feature at the top of the page by the adverts.

When I joined here, that was the first 'fixes' I had to do. When did you first see it?
Does it matter how many times it's shown, if it helps a guy sort out his bike.

Those old pix look like something out of a b/w 70s porn movie. Didn't somebody recently post some nice new sparkly ones in colour?

That picture has saved so many people, so much worry and money.
It's a UKGSER legacy...
Even me, an airhead devotee has posted that pic on occasions, nice to be the first one gives you a good feeling...

colour or black and white it sure put mind at rest and saved me a lot of trouble looking for an electrical problem that didnt exist..i would never have noticed the cable out of place to be honest..
