On an 1100RS but they are almost the same, at first I thought I'd simply dislodged the throttle cable (symptoms appear similar) but that is not the case. They are now in fact disconnected. Bike will run but no matter what I do to the adjusters I cannot get the throttle bodies to balance at idle. I have even swapped to another set of throttle bodies with the same results. What are the ballpark settings for the brass adjusters? Currently 1.5 turns out. Just serviced after standing for 3 years outside, new plugs etc, good spark etc etc. Seemed to run better before service:blast

Have you tried fresh petrol?.
What did you use to balance the TBs?.
Any inlet airleaks?.
How do the plugs look.Tried refitting the old plugs?.

Whilst the bike was running ok there may well have been a gradual drop off of performance/operating efficiency due to the settings being out of tolerance that, due to the gradualness of the change, were imperceptible. BMW employ highly qualified and presumably well paid engineers who determine these tolerances,

Where have you got this "tolerance" measurement from ??

There isn't a tolerence on a TPS. Do you know how the TPS is set at a main dealers ?? It doesn't give a voltage measurement, it just gives a "0" when it's set to the factory spec.

You decided to touch and adjust the TPS, and THEN ask what it does and what the effect will be -

Show me the BMW service manual that tells you what voltage you set the TPS at.

Are you mistaking something you've read on the internet as a BMW service schedule.

I'm not saying you can't adjust it, but just because it reads differently to what might be posted on the internet doesn't mean it's wrongly set.
