HI NEED HELP

[CRESCENDO32]

HI FOLKS, HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE FORUMS HERE. I NEED SOME HELP.

I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON MY 2000 R1150GS. SHE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS WITH NO BATTERY. ON CONNECTING I OPENED THROTTLE TWICE AND CLOSED AGAIN BEFORE STARTING. SHE SEEMS TO BE MISS FIRING AND WHATS MORE WORRYING, THE COLLECTOR BOX IS GLOWING RED HOT, I MEAN LITERALLY GLOWING RED, AFTER ONLY RUNNING FOR ABOUT 2 MINS.

ANY IDEAS, PLEASE HELP.

Have you checked that the right-hand throttle cable is seated correctly on top of the throttle body?

As steve has already said, it's the cable not seated properly.

And it's that which causes the cat to get hot.

it's a common problem whenever the tank is lifted, almost always the R/H side.
