R1150 RT engine cuts with sudden increased throttle opening ie overtaking!!

<< < (2/2)

BeemerKOS:
Thank you for the information, I was not aware that the lower plugs stopped firing at higher RPM. Answering your question, the engine cuts out completely and only picks up again when the throttle is backed off. The engine picks up again then and runs perfectly normally and will accelerate with a more gentle throttle application.  Unfortunately the bike is SORNed at the moment and in the process of being put back together having changed the fuel filter and cleaned and reconnected all the fuel and breather pipes. (A bit of info for those other owners of oldish BMs where water that collects around the filler cap and then drains through the tank, the drain hose connections through the fuel pump mounting plate had corroded quite badly and blocked the drain hose. at that point.) Until I put it back on the road I can only carry out garage tests. I will post again when it is back on the road.
