New Accelerator Module tested

[harry]

I have the extended Accelerator module for 05 R1200GS, does anyone know if this will work for my 2010 GSA?

I'm running that set-up at the moment, seems ok to me

Took mine off a while back as i couldn't determine any difference with it fitted or not....
i will be ordering sometime soon the Wunderlich performance controller, as IMHO this is really the only way forward other than re-programming the ECU

It looks like no replacment is due out for the 2010 GSA until 2013.
I may a well spend some of the trade in money on it.
I am going to order a Akrapovic full system and i am thinking about a K&N filter.
I can try the Acc module and see how it goes and price up a power commander.

Accelerator Module - Extended version

I have a 2011 R1200GSA (DOHC) and fitted the Accelerator Module - Extended version yesterday - I feel no difference whatsoever My bike still occasionally pings, knocks and pre-ignites when I blip the throttle. There is no noticeable improvement in throttle response or acceleration

that's the consensus of opinion on this thread. That the Acc. doesn't appear to work as well on the DOHC GS's as is does on the pre DOHC models.

so why waste money when all the info is hear too read..

I didn't waste any money, I used a demo module, I'll just give it back

Been thinking about ordering one of these for my 2007 1200GS and I notice on the web site they ask if the exhaust system has a catalytic converter or not. Does any body know why as I might fit some de-cat headers later.

R1200GS 09 new to me, sluggish acceleration

I've recently changed my old R1150GS which I'd had from 7K miless to 88K Other than a remus no mods and the acceleration in any gear was instant.

After much deliberation I sold it and got an 09 R1200GS (10K). From the outset I was not very impressed with the sluggish response from opening the throttle to get some decent accel. After 4 weeks of putting up with it I took it back to Williams Manchester. They set up the throttle bodies and for a couple of days I was very happy with the throttle response. The sluggish response has now returned. Williams said that the their was approx 5% differnence btween the L and R throttle bodies?

Has anyone got any ideas on whats going on and how to sort.

I've jut ordered an accel module to see if that helps?

Other than the throttle response I'm very happy with my purchase.

Learn to do the balancing yourself.......it's easy, will cost you only a bit of time and a 3 metre(ish)length of silicone tube that you can get from B&Q, and half a cup of oil of some sort

A BMW tech will spend 'book time' doing the job, and get it to within a BMW spec tolerance....YOU will be able to get it night on perfect, in half an hour the first time, 10 mins or less from there on in.

Exactly the same with valve clearances, TPS position and rocker float gap......it all sounds daunting, but there are 'how to' threads on all of those here, and you can get so much better results that it's well worth doing......better by quite a margin than a BMW tech will do it

Adding a module will certainly help the performance, but imagine what it would do if it was all set up properly in the first place

Hi thanks for the response. I will check out the how to guides as did most the stuff on my 1150. From what i've read on this thread the 12 has is designed to be lean at low revs hence the sluggish acceleration. Whereas the 1150 was not.

The touble is I like to use the low down torque to power the bike out of corners (I live in the lakes so lots of twisties).

Thanks for the info.
