Re: ABS died

I guess I am in a similar boat! My ABS system shuts down on me from time to time. Sometimes I just press the brakes, nothing happen and the lights go flashing and it comes back to life, starts working again! If I am travelling and there is enough air going through nothing happen. All my failures hap...

Re: Troubles with engine

I have done 200 miles since the episodes started and I added a product to clean the tank and injection system and so far the problem improved. Now the reduction in revs is not that noticeable but it still happen. Apparently the tank had water or was dirty, not sure which one is the proper answer. Th...

Re: Troubles with engine

Went to the mechanic on Friday afternoon and spend 2 hours testing the bike. First a new tank and the problem continued, then he tested a few items like spark plug cables, little injection box and a few other sensors. The problem is still there. At some point even the ABS system stoped working. Afte...

Re: Troubles with engine

Problem still there. Tomorrow I am going to the mechanic to borrow a new tank and pump all together. Once I try it I will post another message. Thanks to all that posted on this for now.

Cheers

Re: Troubles with engine

Does someone know about any product to disperse the water in the fuel? The misfiring started to happen when I was driving to the BMW garage and the bike was parked for without use for a while. I am running the bike as it is to empty the tank as much as possible, the idea is to dry it completely and ...

Re: Troubles with engine

Thanks a lot for your insight boxermania, Another reason for thinking it is water is that when I lean left the problem seems to get worse and last longer. Does someone knows an easy way to empty completely the fuel tank? I will start cleaning the tank and suggest your ideas to my mechanic, see what ...

Troubles with engine

Hello all, I have a 2001 R1150R with 15000 miles and I went to a BMW dealer to service the bike. While driving the engine started working on an erratic manner. You would accelerate and there was no response, combustion seemed not to happen evenly and suddenly the problem would disappear. While idlin...
