Just got my 1200GS last monday - 2006 5300 miles from BMW.
Today, it feels just a bit lethargic, not as quick, rough idle, sounds a bit nastier on idle (i think) and does not want to take revs. Its ok if you apply revs gently but as soon as you wind on a bit of throttle, it stutters and holds back.
The bike is fitted with a full Akrapovic system and at the mo has baffle out.
The bike is running on 95 ron shell premium unleaded.
Seems to like a fair bit of petrol at the mo.
What do you reckon?
Also..........dunno if you guys can help here but -
I reckon the fuel gauge is either faulty or stupid! Full for ages, then almost empty and then light
Seems to be a graunchy / grindy feeling esp. over roads that arn't so smooth from the rear end of the bike through the footpegs. Its the footpegs that transmit this though because if i put legs forward when in motion onto the heads the feeling dissapears.
Rear suspension seems to be awfull soft with alot of bottoming-out? The adjuster is set to the firm side of normal but still?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave
