Just click here and the Janitor will gleefully deprive you of some money
Lots of helpful advice on here, it can get a bit less friendly in the pub and the Speaker's Corner subsections at times though
The thing is bmw have got a very non Japanese way of doing things
That’s not a criticism but the majority of people grew up on a fare of early Japanese rebuilt many
Kettles Honda 4s
Still have a few
Boxers are alien to me at min

It's all very simple, Honestly, Just take your time and Don't just load a parts cannon !!
Take a minute ask your questions,
We fire you some ideas and you go try them
Its nothing but two big opposing pistons "flapping up and down (Horizontally) " "Carbs / injection" "Sparks" and "exhaust"
we all thought they were batshit complicated and then the 1200 "Hex Heads" came in
Now its all old hat and someone somewhere has figured out the tweaks and fixes!
Edited for Pedants LOL

If his pistons are going up and down I think I may have found the problem.... the bike is on its side.
That’s the good thing about here
There’s no judgement or snobbery
It’s been eye opening
Genuinely I’m enjoying the tinkering

Well
Reset tps
Started up straight away with the non choke lever open
Shut the lever tick over very low but ticking over
Granted still very cold
Went for a 2 mile ride round
No backfire and from what I can tell never owning one before it seems to be fine
Rickover was just over 1k
I’ll do a few miles then when I’m moting I’ll put them analyser on it
I’ll let you all know how my next couple of days go

Once I’ve spent a week or so riding round
If I need to adjust tickover
Will I use bbs or cable stops

Adjust "Rickover"
to 1100 RPM + or 0 50 rpm Using the Big Brass screws When at full working temp (5 bars on temp scale) If you set it when cold you will end up with an idle of 12 or 1300 Which is NOT ideal in traffic in Summer if you go touring !! Adjust "throttle balance" using the threaded cable guides DO NOT touch the throttle stops inboard of the Throttle bodies Or its another can of worms !!
Vacuum ports are front and below throttle bodies for balance and that sorta Poop Make sure you have replacement Rubber nipple covers as they are likely hard and crumbling!
You never said if you had a splitter box below the battery or that your bike has a singl ecrossover cable from left side to right side ???
I’ve not noticed 
I’m assuming your on about accelerator cable
I’ll check tomorrow
Does it make a difference?
Cheers for advice
Yes I’m happy with how it rides now
Good clean pull from tickover
Are they better with standard exhaust on or with aftermarket
I have both but got aftermarket on at min
