R1100GS starting probs
It had to happen.... I have finally got rid of my long suffering Tenere and moved up to the world of German engineering and pillion comfort - but all is not yet rosy in the land of BMW. My newly acquired R1100 GS (1995) is using a lot of fuel (8-9 miles to the litre) and is a sod to start on occasion (high speed running is absolutely fine). I thought this was down to the remus can and chip which were on the bike when I bought it, and switched back to the original exhaust and chip, but if anything this made matters worse. She starts with difficulty, and runs quite roughly for a few minutes - seems to recover and run more smoothly after this, but even restarting when warm, if you have left her for more than a few minutes, is a problem.
Any ideas how I should proceed, you beemer experts? I wonder if the mixture is set too rich, and how to go about altering this? Can I do it myself, or does it require dealer attention and a whole bunch of technology type stuff?Should I contact NASA?
Cheers for any suggestions,
C.
