Sorry! Hi All - New 1100GS owner + in need of HELP!

[Tobermory]

Ive just bought a 1100GS thought it was running uneven so went about balancing the injector bodies and adjusted the wrong screws...doh!
Since then I have bought a Haynes manual which says: 'the two limiter screws on the inner face of the throttle pullies' should not be adjusted... doh doh doh! I have put them back to where I think they were. Can anyone tell me what they will do, what problems this will cause? Am I now going to have to go to a BMW dealer and pay ££££££s to get this sorted? I'm pretty clued up when it comes to working on bikes, but this is my first BM and first injection bike, the screws looked like balancing screws. Can someone give me any advice please. Thanks Yours hopefully Tobermory

Sorry forgot my manners! Didn't even say 'hi' to you all in my blind panick of trying to sort my bike. Cheers to all of you and hope you all having a happy weekend and not too wet (unless in a pub!) Tobermory

Blimey - for a minute there I thought I'd bought myself a new bike

It sounds like you have been tweaking the throttle stop screws, in which case you might want to head for the search section and look for threads about "flow bench".

Hello fellow wombler! Named as such for exactly the same reason I'm sure! Hope I don't have to rename myself. Also been called skippy and bin digger by friends!

Thanks for the advice I will try the 'search'. But very new to this and computers in general so wish me luck!

iv "bin" digger for a while now, dont try it bitch

 

[Womble]

I sense a theme with those names , although I've never quite aspired to the last two myself.

Don't worry about the name, there're a couple of other Wombles in here already and it hasn't been a problem.

Best of luck with the throttle bodies
