Booster Plug 2010 R1200GS
so I am expecting my Booster Plug in the mail in the next couple of days and am excited to see the difference it will make.
Like many people who install or think of installing these, my GS starts fine, idles fine, revs and runs fine at speed and if accelerates almost perfectly if I'm on the throttle hard BUT...that modest / slow acceleration is crap with mini hesitations and flat spots with being the worst right at 3950-4000rpm where it really flattens out until I've pushed through it.
So, many reviews suggest that this low rpm BS will be helped with the BP...I am hopeful.
When I first got the GS ( never had one or even a boxer before ) I thought maybe this is an inherent 'boxer' thing but the more I rode the more I thought, this can't be right otherwise these GS' everyone raves about are sheit or there is something wrong with mine.
When someone told me about the Booster Plug my impression was that it was a fix for largely this "GS" problem but it seems people are using them on all bikes out here.
So, my question is, why the hell do all of these bikes, various years, various engines suffer this same / similar issue so as to require a Booster Plug to remedy? What are the manufacturers missing?
