R1100GS - Engine cuts out at idle when hot.

[mspenz]

I just love a story with a happy ending.

Or just a happy ending without any attached story

Just thought I'd post this to demonstrate how to check for a faulty throttle position sensor (this was on my bike).
The sensor is twisted using light pressure when the bike is at idle. If faulty, this procedure cuts the engine.

Good job

I had an ongoing problem with my 1150 using too much fuel ( 40 mpg ) and sooting up the panniers, tried just about everything including the TPS but eventually changed the Lambda...sorted, and now getting 48mpg

Linky no worky ?

Thanks Al for helping with the happy ending, (I hasten to add it wasn't in the biblical sense).

Among other issues my bike was running rich before this repair, I'm hoping my tank range now increases.
I was just getting 180 miles down hill with a tail wind. Will be brimming it up on Thursday and going for a spin round North Wales.
Hopefully I'll get another 20 miles. Will report back.

Get it in top top for the run up to Strontian in September

Never mind the bike it's me that'll need to be tip top.
Al won't be coming due to a soiree abroad, so will have to do my own navigating. Could end up anywhere north of Glasgow.
Hopefully see you up there as I've booked a B&B in Strontian.

May the weather gods shine.

I'd just like to clarify that although we feature from time to time in each others threads/posts etc, we are not a couple, we each have seperate lives and live apart........well for the time being anyway

Seperate lives indeed. Apart from the common interest of, beer, beer, food, beer, food and erm beer.

Anyway, what's this "for the time being anyway" thing.... Jane kicking you out?
