Not running to well

[strakman]

Hi - first post

I have a 13 plate GS, it was not running well so I have a full service carried out. But when its hot and i am in town traffic it lurches backwards and forwards. Like it either has too muich fuel or i was flicking the thottle (not doing this)

I have had it back to the mechanic and he want to try changing the the stake coils????

My mechanical experience is nill, so would welcome eny advice.

Thanks

Kevin

Fuel starvation? Are you getting a vacuum in the tank?

Stick coils you’re thinking of by the way ..someone with more ideas than me will be along shortly

And welcome to the site

Probably a good idea to pay your £12 membership for the year and get access to all areas and the ability to post photos and send and receive messages

Fueling too high? get him to check the throttle position sensors

The first question to ask is...how did it run before the service ?

Some errors can happen on their own and some can happen via human intervention?

ie something not reconnected properly, damaged or faulty new parts fitted?

Get it down to Geoff at Hilltop!

When I took mine in he wouldn't work on it until i'd got the stick coils and HT leads done, he was picking up the faults when he first ran it.

I returned a week later and my bike was running better but was transformed when Geoff re mapped it. Best value work and advice I ever had done to my GS.

Hilltop don’t remap Gs’s. They in theory load invisible software to correct afr but that’s not a remap.

Maybe not the solution, will maybe make more problem.

it's best not to run to the well, you are best saving your energy for carrying the water back.
